Real Madrid boss Ancelotti confirms Ronaldo out tonight

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is out of their Champions League clash with Galatasaray.

The former Manchester United forward picked up a strain in his left thigh during Madrid's 5-0 win at Almeria on Saturday, forcing him to be substituted in the 54th minute.

"Cristiano can't play tomorrow, he's had a very small problem but tomorrow we're going to rest him and we're going to see if he can be available for Saturday," Ancelotti told a press conference.

"He has a small muscle strain but he is very confident he can play on Saturday, but if there's any risk of him getting injured, he won't play."
