Ancelotti confident on Ronaldo

Real Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti says Cristiano Ronaldo will only line up against Bayern Munich if he is fully fit.

The Italian tactician is however confident that this will be the case when they face the German champions tomorrow evening.

He also claimed that his side’s quest to win a historic tenth Champions League title was not an obsession.

“Cristiano trained normally and well today,” Ancelotti said at the pre-match Press conference. “We still have another session but it’s clear that he will play if everyone thinks he can play without any problems.

“We are confident he will play but we will make a final decision tomorrow.

“Bale is very happy, he has confidence just like all the team. After what he did against Barcelona it’s normal that he has more confidence.

“The team was solid and compact against Barca and tomorrow it will be the same. Barcelona are not Bayern but their philosophy is the same.

“We need to show a strong work ethic and control the game in order to show our quality.

“I can’t say that getting to the semi-finals has been a success. The target in this competition is always to reach the final.

“We are still not there. We need to fight for 180 minutes against a strong team.

“Reaching the semi-finals is not a success but a team who reaches four semi-finals in a row isn’t doing badly.

“Time has improved our game and our quality. Winning the tournament for the tenth time isn’t an obsession, it’s a motivation. We want to do it and we will do everything possible tomorrow.

“Guardiola did a great job with Barca and now he is doing the same with Bayern. The important thing for us though is to play well tomorrow.

“We will need to crowd to get behind us and help us.”
