Zinedine Zidane has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo’s physical endurance during matches and believes he delivers more decisive moments than anyone else.
The Portuguese star returns to his Sporting CP on Tuesday night with Real Madrid, fresh from scoring a hat-trick in their victory in the Madrid derbi on Saturday.
"Cristiano is the way he is," Zidane said. "You can think he is not playing well, but at any time, he can score.
"In my case, when I was a player, I would start the game full of power and stamina, but I was unable to perform so well at the end.
"But that is not the case with Cristiano. He can score goals at any time, even at the end of the match.
"You can criticise Ronaldo for not scoring enough goals, but three weeks ago, he scored three against Alaves, he scored three at the weekend and I hope he can score again on Tuesday."
