In 2004 he moved to the Bucharest top club Steaua . The championship title was already won in the first season with Cristea. The striker was also able to play at European level for the first time. He made his debut on September 16, 2004 against CSKA Sofia from Bulgaria in the first round match of the UEFA Cup . He was substituted on for Daniel Oprița at halftime and the game was won 2-1. Steaua made it to the round of 16 this UEFA Cup season, where it was the last stop against Villarreal . In the 2005/06 season , the championship title could be defended.
