Shakhtar Donetsk striker Luiz Adriano insisted that he was unconcerned with outdoing Cristiano Ronaldo as they lost 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday.

Adriano is currently tied alongside the Real Madrid superstar as the top scorer in this season’s Champions League, with both players on nine goals.

Both Los Blancos and Shakhtar have already secured their place in the knockout stages, but Adriano claimed that the record was far from his thoughts as they were beaten by Athletic.

He told reporters after the game: ‘I wasn’t focused on Ronaldo’s record because it’s my team’s success that is important for me rather than personal achievements.’
