  • Real Madrid and Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo is confident he will have recovered from his thigh injury in time for Saturday's Champions League final.

    The FIFA Ballon d'Or winner and  this season's  La Liga  top scorer which he tops with 31 goals, has been suffering from a recurring thigh problems since early April and has spent two weeks on the sidelines in preparation for the Lisbon showdown against Atletico Madrid.

    His last match was the game against Valladolid on May 7 which practically ended Real's La Liga title hopes

    as they were forced to a 1-1 draw  and Ronaldo played for less than 10 minutes before limping off.

    "I feel good but still not 100 percent. I hope to be ready for Saturday," the Portuguese told Real Madrid TV on Tuesday.

    The Portuguese missed the last two games of the season and is still yet to start full training. "It is my first day out on the pitch and I feel ok and happy," he said.

    "Playing during the week and weekends means it is normal that the body has a negative response. Unfortunately I have had a few problems but if you look around Europe the same thing is happening and players are getting injured.

    "Nobody wants to miss a final, a final we have been aiming for and it is obviously important. If the body can't do it then it is not the end of the world but I will be there, I am confident." 
    The Los Blancos will be meeting City rivals Athletico Madrid in this years finals as they continue in their bid for their 10th Champions League title
