“I think Cristiano is going to play. He’s fine, he looks great to me,” the French coach said in a press conference on the eve of Valencia clash. Madrid face Valencia on Sunday night.

Zidane noted that Ronaldo’s performance against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final, which they won 1-0 on aggregate On Wednesday, was perfect.

The coach pointed out that the best way to prepare for the Champions League final is to focus on the two games left in La Liga.

“He’s the first to want to play, it’s important for him to play,” Zidane added in reference to Cristiano.

On the Valencia game, Zidane said the clash will not be easy, as the opponents are “tough.”
