adminMADRID. — Cristiano Ronaldo has played down fears over his fitness ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League soccer final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
The three-time Ballon d’Or winner was forced to leave Real’s training session yesterday, which was part of an open media day, after competing for a ball with reserve goalkeeper Kiko Casilla and collapsing to the floor.
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.
But speaking after the training session, Ronaldo insisted his limp was nothing more than the result of a dead leg. — Sky Sports.
