Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez insists Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo can succeed together.
The pair have struggled to connect this season.
But Benitez says: “I've never told Bale to play on the left or Ronaldo to play on the right. They have the freedom to move around in attack and only need to take on the role of whatever position they're in at a given time.
"Cristiano and Bale have the freedom to change positions, that's when they're at their most dangerous, when the opposition can't predict where they're going to be. I'm in charge of a top quality side and I need to be able to manage the players' attributes."
