Football Dortmund-Real: Ancelotti does not want to take any risk with Cristiano Ronaldo

cristianoronaldovibraafpCristiano Ronaldo may not be part of the squad of Ancelotti tonight against Borussia Dortmund. The coach of Real Madrid assured that he will take no risk with the Portuguese striker injured.

The Madrid star got injured in the knee during the victory of the Los Blancos 3-0 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against the men of Jurgen Klopp. Ancelotti revealed on the eve of the match in Dortmund that Ronaldo was likely to be available, but he would take no risk with his star striker.

“concerning Cristiano, he feels he is 100 per cent so we are confident” , told the former boss of AC Milan at a press conference. “However, we will not take any risk with him”. The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo at Dortmund seems increasingly uncertain. This Monday in the training, the double Ballon d’Or spent only 20 minutes with teammaets. The Madrid club will take a decision on Tuesday regarding his availability.

With a three-goal lead, Madrid have one foot in semi-finals. However, Ancelotti takes nothing for granted, especially because Dortmund will enjoy the return of star striker Robert Lewandowski, who was suspended. “We are close to reaching the Semifinals. This is the biggest motivation that we may have. But the return of Lewandowski makes this game different. His presence will help his teammates.”

Lewandowski scored all the goals for Dortmund in their 4-1 victory in the first leg against Madrid last season.
