How to add a www CNAME that points to my root domain?

I have a proxied domain in cloudflare, added the following DNS record:

TYPE: CNAME
NAME: www
CONTENT: @

But when I try to access my domain using www it cannot be found 404

Any ideas?

You still need the server configured to answer to the www name.
