Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have gotten his way once again. Despite concerns over his fitness, the star striker is set to play in Real Madrid’s final La Liga match against Espanyol Barcelona this Saturday. Ronaldo has been recovering from a minor thigh injury, raising concerns ahead of the crucial Champions League final against Atlético Madrid.
However, Ronaldo’s determination to win the European Golden Shoe, which he currently shares with Liverpool’s Luis Suarez with 31 goals each, seems to have outweighed the caution advised by many.
Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, confirmed in a press conference that Ronaldo is “in good shape and available,” and will indeed play in the upcoming match.
Fans of Real Madrid will undoubtedly be holding their breath, hoping that Ronaldo’s thigh injury doesn’t worsen ahead of the crucial Champions League final.
