Portillo wants Real return

Fiorentina striker Javier Portillo has spoken of his delight following his first goal for the club, but wants to return to Real Madrid next year.
The 22-year-old has taken time to adapt to life in Italy, but finally broke his duck for Viola with a goal in last weekend's 2-0 triumph over Chievo.
Portillo is enjoying his time in Serie A, but insists his priority remains to make the grade with Real.
"My experience in Italy is interesting but Calcio (Italian football) is different to Spain because all the players are defence-minded," he told Real Madrid Television.
"The Fiorentina supporters are with me and have given me a lot of help. I am happy for the first goal against Chievo.
"For me, last season (at Real) was not very good and the best solution was to leave.
"(Vicente) Del Bosque did not give me many opportunities but my idea is to return to play, and try to triumph with Real.
"I understand the quality of the forwards they have, but I am anxious to play."
Portillo went on to back Real to emerge triumphant from their UEFA Champions League quarter final with Juventus.
"Juventus is the leader in Italy," he continued. "The match of Champions League will be hard, but Real is the best club in the world and when they play to their best they are impossible to stop."
