Zidane: Cristiano Ronaldo will start the Champions League final

Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will start the Champions League final.

The Real Madrid forward was injured on Tuesday in a collision with goalkeeper Kiko Casilla, but it will not keep him out of Saturday night's clash.

Ronaldo had suffered another injury beforehand, to his hamstring, but Zidane said now he is fine.

"It is not the same thing; he had a little issue but he is fine now," the Frenchman explained. 

"He is 100 percent and with it being a final, even if he had anything he would still play. I believe he is fine. It is a different issue to [before City]. Tomorrow he will be at 100 percent."
