?Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that star man Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit to face ?Liverpool in the Champions League final.

Zidane also has Isco and Dani Carvajal on his injury list, but delivered a hat trick of good news by confirming that both players will also be fit for the Champions League final in Kyiv.
“They are all going to arrive at the Champions League final,” Zidane told reports in a recent press conference, per ?Sky Sports.

“Isco will train with us normally and Carvajal has a little way to go, but physically he is working well.”
Real Madrid still have to play three more league fixtures before the Champions League final and Zidane hopes that Ronaldo will return in time to face Villarreal on La Liga’s final day.
