I think Cristiano is going to play. He’s fine, he looks great to me,” the Frenchman said.
“The best way to prepare for the final is to focus on the two games we’ve got left in La Liga. He’s the first to want to play, it’s important for him to play.
“Benzema will be with us tomorrow [Sunday] and he is ready to be involved. For how long, I’m not sure, it depends how he’s feeling. We’re not thinking about the final. We’re thinking about our two remaining games”.

We’ve won 10 La Liga games in a row and we have to keep this run going,” he added.
We’ve got two games left and they are both finals. We’re still very much in the race, that’s what I am telling the team. We’ve got to believe in our chances until the end.
“There are two games to go, we’re behind and we must keep moving forward and doing our best to win the match, and then we’ll see what happens”.
While, Zidane paid homage to Alvaro Arbeloa, who will leave at the end of season.
He’s one of ours, he’s important. He’s a good person. He’s fought for the shirt and what he’s done for Madrid is important. He’ll be with us. He’s very professional, very serious and always was. He’ll play and then there’ll be a party for him if necessary,” he explained.
