Cristiano Ronaldo saluted Real Madrid's fighting spirit as he helped inspire a late comeback to ensure their UEFA Champions League defence got off to the perfect start with a 2-1 victory over boyhood club Sporting CP.
"We always believe until the end – to the very last minute," he told UEFA.com "A match is 90-plus minutes and you need to believe until it's over. In the closing stages we were good and if it weren't for that we wouldn't have won
It was very tough and we need to start better. We weren't great from the off. We thought the game was going to be easier and Sporting made life very difficult for us. They showed they're a very good side and can make it out of this group."
