Several members of Real Madrid's medical staff helped to pick the star forward up off the floor, and the Portugal international was able to hobble off the pitch unassisted. Ronaldo left the session with training still in progress, and was seen to throw a water bottle away in anger as he headed for the changing rooms. Speaking after the training session, Ronaldo insisted his limp was nothing more than the result of a dead leg.
He said “I am fine. I had a little problem in training, a dead leg as they say here, but Wednesday or the next day I will be fine. It was a minor scare, a knock”.
Ronaldo came off at half-time of Real Madrid's final game of the La Liga season at Deportivo La Coruna 10 days ago having scored twice in the first half to take his tally for the season to 51. He then sat out a practice match on Saturday ahead of this weekend's showdown with city rivals Atletico at the San Siro in Milan.
Prior to this latest injury scare, coach Zinedine Zidane said Ronaldo would be fit for the Champions League final, despite a persistent thigh problem and Ronaldo also thinks he is in better physical condition than he was before the final two years ago when Real beat Atletico 4-1 after extra time in Lisbon.
Real are already without defender Raphael Varane for the final due to a thigh problem. Zidane said “The only major drawback, and that really is very serious, is Varane. He is now out for Saturday. He may not be ready in two or three weeks. It is less serious than we thought. He will travel but will not play on Saturday. With regard to the selection I hope he can play the Euros. It's a blow for him and I'm worried about him”.
