Ronaldo ready for UCL final after being rested from practice match

Real Madrid is in fine fettle ahead of its UEFA Champions League final showdown with Atletico Madrid, according to Zinedine Zidane.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was rested from a practice match last weekend, but Zinedine Zidane says he will be fine to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final.

The two Madrid clubs meet at San Siro on Saturday, in a repeat of the 2014 showpiece, which Real won 4-1 after extra-time.

Following the conclusion of their Liga campaign on May 14 - in which Ronaldo scored twice in a 2-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna - Madrid held an intrasquad game on Saturday, from which the Portuguese was absent.
