Real Madrid star Ronaldo happy playing Copa final at Bernabeu

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is happy to be playing the Copa del Rey final at their Santiago Bernabeu.

Real face Atletico Madrid as overwhelming favourites.

Ronaldo said: "We're very excited about this trophy and we want to win. We know it's going to be a really hard-fought game against a rival from the same city. It's going to be a great show. Let's hope that Real Madrid can win.

"It's going to be a strange final because we're playing in our stadium but the fans will be divided 50/50. That isn't going to take away our ambition to win this Cup. We know that the stadium will be divided. Let's hope that the best team wins. If we go out on the pitch strong and we play as we know how, we're going to win."
