​Zidane confident Ronaldo fit for Real Madrid Champions League final

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit for the Champions League final against Liverpool in a week's time, says manager Zinedine Zidane, reports BBC Sport.

The 33 year old has not played since spraining his ankle during the El Clasico draw with Barcelona earlier this month but could feature against Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday.

Real will attempt to win their third straight Champions League title when they meet Liverpool in Kiev on 26 May.

"Right now he is 120%," said Zidane.

"He is fine. If Cristiano is 120% that's fine with me."
