Ronaldo dreaming of Rome after win over Arsenal

London, May 1 : Portuguese and Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he is already dreaming of Rome after his club beat Arsenal one nil in the Champions League semi-final first leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Ronaldo is convinced the Reds will finish off the job at The Emirates next Tuesday.

"I'm very confident. It will be difficult against Arsenal but I'm dreaming of the final in Rome. The Olympic Stadium is great and I'd love to play there again," The Sun quoted him, as saying.

Ronaldo, 24, has performed heroics there against Roma in the Champions League in the past but a final against either Barcelona or Chelsea would be different. And he aims to mark the final with a 30th strike for the season.

He now has 23 and with a maximum of seven games left in the league and Champions League he wants to score in every one to reach his target.

United tore apart Arsenal on Wednesday only to be denied more goals by the heroics of goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.

Ronaldo said: "To win 1-0 is a good result but we know we could and should have scored more goals. (ANI)
