Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo sees no reason why he cannot go on to break the goal-scoring record he set last season in the new campaign.
Ronaldo picked up the Pichichi award for scoring the most league goals in the Spanish top flight last term with a record tally of 41.
The Portugal international's haul of 41 goals broke the previously unbeaten mark of 38 goals set by Telmo Zarra and Hugo Sanchez.
"In football nothing is impossible and every record can be broken," Ronaldo told Marca, reports ESPNstar.
"I hope to surpass the previous record, but I want to thank my team-mates for making it possible for me to win the trophy.
"We will see what happens in the future, you never know what may happen, but I could beat the record."
Ronaldo already has seven league goals to his name this season - including two hat-tricks - and scored a wonder goal against Ajax in the Uefa Champions League. However, he did not score in Madrid's 4-0 win over Espanyol on Sunday, but maintains he was delighted to lay on two goals for his team-mates.
"I like helping my team-mates score, it is also part of my job," he said.
"They pass to me and I pass to them. I always do my best for the team so we can win."
There is some debate as to whether Ronaldo's 41 goal record set last season is the accurate number. Spain's Professional Football League (LFP) gave a deflected free-kick goal from last September against Real Sociedad to team-mate Pepe while Marca chose to credit the Portuguese with the goal instead.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo's arch-nemesis Lionel Messi continues to create his own legacy at Barcelona. He recently reached 194 goals for the Catalans to equal Ladislao Kubala in the club's goal-scoring charts.
