Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo was pleased with both his personal showing and the team's overall performance after his side's convincing 4-1 win in Malaga.

"I knew the goals would come and, most importantly, the team is performing well. It was a good game. I never said I was anxious, all that talk came from the press," he told La Sexta after the game.

Ronaldo also took the time to praise team-mate Mesut Oezil, who had another impressive game for Los Blancos.

"We are all very pleased with him - he is gaining in confidence with every game. We are also pleased with the other signings. [Sami] Khedira and Pedro Leon are good players."

Ronaldo's two goals helped Jose Mourinho's side back to the top of La Liga with 17 points attained from their seven games.
