Cristiano Ronaldo had an auspicious statement by promising to fight for the big titles. CR7: "I wish you all a succesful new year, a merry Christmas and I hope the club can keep performing well. May all the "Madridismo" achieve many great things in 2012."

First it was Callejón and Adán, then Benzema, Varane and Lass Diarra, followed by Kaká and Higuaín. They all wished a very joyfull 2012, but the list became bigger as the players kept appearing in pairs.
