Carlo Ancelotti talked about the commitment Cristiano Ronaldo had to being the best player possible.

Ancelotti managed Real Madrid for two seasons before his dismissal last season. Ancelotti joins Bayern Munich this summer.

"Cristiano Ronaldo bathed in ice at three o'clock in the morning, even if [ex-girlfriend] Irina [Shayk] was waiting for him at home," the Italian is quoted by Marca as telling the Financial Times.

"He wasn't bothered about the money; he only wanted to be the best.

"I can't go into details but I can tell you that it is incredible how he has always put his career before models and other issues."
