Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in an angry exchange with journalists after equalling the all-time goalscoring record at Real Madrid, and gave mixed-messages over his future saying: "Nobody knows what will happen next year."
Ronaldo's brace in the 2-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday saw him match former Madrid striker Raul Gonzalez's record tally of 323 goals for the clubafter just 308 games.
The 30-year-old's future at the Bernabeu has been the subject of speculation, though, with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United credited with an interest.
Ronaldo is reported to have been unhappy with the fact that Rafa Benitez was brought in to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Madrid boss over the summer as well as having concerns the treatment of teammates Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos.
Asked in the mixed zone after Wednesday's game if he was happy in Madrid and whether he had any issues with the club over the summer, he told newspapers including AS: "My future is at Madrid. I am good here.
"I want to win things here and I feel good, but I have said millions of times that nobody can tell what will happen in the future. We will see what happens.
"I have a good relationship with everyone -- the president, coaches, workers... The relationships are good because I am a professional."
He added: "Nobody knows what will happen next year. I want to win things at Madrid as I think that this club has the potential to win things, but I do not know the future."
The Portugal forward has made a point of refusing to talk to the Madrid media in recent months, and he was asked whether someone had shown him disrespect, saying: "That is my decision. I speak when I want and the club has not pressured me.
"This is not the moment to speak about [whether someone has shown me disrespect]. When someone does not talk, it is because something is not going well. Everyone is free to think what they like."
