Ancelotti: Ronaldo not focused on Raul record

The Portuguese forward is currently one short of the Real legend's 71-goal marker in Europe's elite club competition, while Barcelona's Lionel Messi sits on 69.

Ronaldo failed to pull level with Raul as Real beat Liverpool 1-0 on Tuesday, but Ancelotti insisted his failure to find the net would have no negative impact.

"Cristiano always wants to score," said the Italian. "[On Tuesday] he was focused on the match as we needed the win.

"We haven't spoken about the record. I thought he was great [against Liverpool].

"He will score next time.

"I don't think Cristiano is frustrated after not scoring. I think he is happy like all of us as we got the win and he is focused on the next game."
