Ronaldo salutes Zidane's management as Madrid close on La Liga crown

With the Frenchman on the brink of his first league title, the star attacker praised his ability to handle the needs of Madrid's players

Cristiano Ronaldo saluted Zinedine Zidane for his management of the Real Madrid squad this season as they closed to within a point of the La Liga league title with a 4-1 win at Celta Vigo.

Madrid produced a professional display in Galicia on Wednesday and managed to fend off a resilient Celta side, who were harshly reduced to 10 men in the second half when Iago Aspas was adjudged to have dived in the area.
