Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez has said that he is currently playing 'for the club of his dreams'.

The 23-year-old moved to the Bernabeu from Monaco in the summer and has scored nine times in 24 games for the Spanish outfit.

James also believes that his time with Porto and Monaco has helped him deal with the pressure in the Spanish capital.

"It's a pleasure to play alongside all these world-class players, just as it is to play for Colombia. I learned a lot about pressure when I was at Porto and Monaco, but now I'm at the best club in the world, and it shows," he told Marca.

"All of my career has been important, but the truth is that I'm now playing for the club of my dreams and I enjoy every moment. That I can't hide.

"I try to improve every day in every way. Tomorrow I'll want to be better than I am today, and it goes on like that forever. I thank God for everything that happens in my life. It's clear that I'm privileged."

James is expected to miss the Club World Cup later this month with a calf injury.
