Euro 2016 triumph would cap my career - Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to end his wait for an international trophy at the Euro 2016 finals in France.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner has won the league and Champions League with Real Madrid and Manchester United in a glittering career to date, but has failed to land a major title with Portugal.

"At club and individual level I've won everything, but I'm missing an international title. It would seal a great career and I have hope. Hopefully it'll be in 2016," Ronaldo told Marca after being awarded his fourth European Golden Shoe.

"We have a good team and an excellent president. I think we have a promising future. The new generation is good and they've helped us to improve a lot."

Ronaldo bagged 48 goals in La Liga last season to secure the continent's top-scorer prize and he has credited a natural shift to a more central striking position as key to his consistent goal record.

"I'm different now, I'm more a penalty-box player, not so much on the wing, because you score more goals from there so I changed my position slightly. It's been a natural change and it's certainly kept me happy," he said.

"At the moment I feel no different to when I was 25. If you look after yourself and do things well, you can keep going until you're 40. 

"I don't look at just one thing, but in general. I try to be better all the time, to play, train, recover, which is very important."
