Zinedine Zidane rubbishes suggestions Cristiano Ronaldo should be sold

With an 8.45pm CET kick off, Zidane is quoted by realmadrid.com as saying.

Roma’s miserable evening was capped off through former Sevilla man Diego Perotti’s volley crashing a volley against the post as Madrid held on for a place in the last eight and Navas became the goalkeeper with the second longest shutout of over 850 minutes in the Champions League.

Roma opened the home side up again when breaking quickly as Madrid appealed for a foul on Danilo, which was not given, and Salah was played into the right side of the area. I’m not anxious about creating doubts.

Progress, and the draw in the quarter-final stage is nearly certain to be tough, but it is also true that from that point onwards, five games are all that separates a team from European club football’s biggest prize.

“It’s normal, he has seen his father score goals, let ‘s take a break, he is a child”. “But if we play like we did against Gladbach then we will advance into the next round”. They’re never won before.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has hit back at supporters who jeered star forward Cristiano Ronaldo at the weekend.

Ronaldo said later he had been misquoted.

‘I’m not in favour for selling him. They’ll be pretty short, I guess.

“In the end, the fans love the players and that is the most important thing”.

“I am happy with the way we attacked and I think defensively we improved a lot in the second-half”.

Ronaldo’s 64th-minute goal came after good work by Lucas Vazquez on the right – the substitute sending in a cross that the Portuguese lifted over the on-rushing Szczesny, who took a blow to the face as he came to meet the ball. There is no need to make anything of it’.

Roma had plenty of chances to put the tie on a knife edge but woeful finishing let the hosts off the hook, and strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo – his 40th of the season in all competitions – and James Rodriguez put the outcome beyond doubt. Casemiro and Mateo Kovacic replaced the duo on Saturday and could retain their position in the Real Madrid lineup should Kroos and Modric be declared unfit to start the match.

Ronaldo is expected to be joined in attack by Gareth Bale on Tuesday after the Welshman came off the bench to score against Celta in his first appearance in six weeks after a calf injury.

“He is the history of Roma, the strongest player in our post-war era”, Spalletti said. The players know what they have to do on the field.

We will be focusing on the clash in Spain so stay tuned for team news, updates and much more – plus all the key news from Wolfsburg. (James and condition) It’s not a problem of his.

“That is why he is unique”, said Zidane. He is part of the group. “It went a bit badly for us in the first leg, we could have drawn and instead it finished 2-0”. I wouldn’t have been surprised if we had conceded seven, which don’t forget happened to me as well as the other Coaches.
