Figo: I hope Ronaldo stays at Real Madrid

Former Real Madrid star Luis Figo is hopeful Cristiano Ronaldo will remain at the European champions.

Ronaldo's future has dominated headlines since the 33-year-old hinted at a shock exit following Madrid's third successive Champions League triumph last month.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner – who later apologised for his post-final comments before appearing to offer hope over his future during Madrid's trophy parade – has been linked with a return to former club Manchester United and French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Asked about Ronaldo after Madrid's legends team beat Arsenal at the Santiago Bernabeu, Figo said: "I hope that Cristiano stays like all Real Madrid fans.

"One day he will stop playing and Real Madrid will continue to be one of the best clubs in the world."
