Fit-again Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is confident of recapturing his best form.

The Dutchman played the whole of Real's Copa del Rey second leg match against Alcorcon on Tuesday.

The former Manchester United marksman has just returned to action again after damaging his thigh in September following a long-term injury.

Although the experienced striker is at the back end of his career he is pleased with his recovery and believes he will only get better with games.

"The body responded and that gives me hope that I can go back to being what I was before," he told Marca. "I believe I can improve and get better."
