Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo says he enjoys playing for coach Zinedine Zidane.

Ronaldo and Zidane is preparing for next week's Champions League final.

He said, "[Zidane] has done a terrific job, he is proving his status as a world-class coach.

"I used to admire him as a player and my admiration has done nothing but grow.

"He's a positive, hard-working and respectful person, everybody in the squad is really pleased with him.

"It's not easy to manage this sort of dressing room, because every player wants to play a lot of minutes, but he's been able to spread playing time among all of us."
