Ronaldo to play full 90 minutes against Sporting, says Zidane

Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested Real Madrid should offer him a 10-year contract to ensure he sees out his career at the Spanish club.

Just like the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate, there are points and conceivable checkmates to be made on both sides.

“Everyone knows that if they want to get on the front page they have to speak about me. It’s a privilege for me to have won the Ballon d’Or three times with Messi contending for the award”.

For years, football fans have been at loggerheads arguing who is better: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

Real Madrid stays flawless to start off the season with 9 points in 3 games and also saw the return of Cristiano Ronaldo who immediately scored a goal.

Zinedine Zidane’s side, who won their 11th European Cup last season by beating city rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties in the final, are aiming to become the first team to defend the title for more than a quarter of a century.

However, his 2016 season has been somewhat hampered by a knee injury he picked up in July during the Euro 2016 final.

“I am always thinking about the 60 days he was out, which is a lot for a player”, said Zidane on Tuesday.

“He’s ready, he wants to play”.

Although Ronaldo has claimed on multiple occasions that he endeavours to retire at Madrid, de Carvalho insists there is a possibility that the two time Ballon D’or victor could make an emotional return to the place his decorated career began.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit back at Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez by mocking the Spaniard’s inability to the win the Ballon d’Or and claiming he is the most in-demand player on the planet.

“After you’ve won a title, people expect more from you”, he said.

“He worked hard every single day, you saw him in the gym every single day and the results came on the pitch”.

After their fairytale Premier League title triumph last season, Leicester begin their maiden Champions League voyage with the short trip to Belgium to face Club Brugge at the Jan Breydelstadion. “We’re only without Coentrão and Keylor who are both training nearly normally but they just need a bit more time”, Zidane said in the press conference ahead of the game. “He is a great teammate”.
