Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: Ronaldo fit for tonight

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says Cristiano Ronaldo is ready for tonight's Champions League final against Atletico Madrid.

Ronaldo has suffered a series of muscular injuries over the past few weeks, but the World Player of the Year will be fit to take on Atletico Madrid, and he will be joined by Gareth Bale in the Real attack.

However, it is unclear whether the world's two most expensive players will be joined up front by Benzema as he and Pepe have not trained at all this week until taking part in a light session with their team-mates on Friday evening.

"Cristiano is fine and has no problem," said Ancelotti.

"We have to check situation with Pepe and Karim because they have not trained this week and after training we have to take the decision for Saturday."
