´It was a little scare´ – Ronaldo plays down injury fears

Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to calm fears that he picked up a serious injury after leaving a Real Madrid training session early.

The Portugal international collided with goalkeeper Kiko Casilla on Tuesday before walking from the field, fuelling speculation he could miss Saturday s Champions League final against Atletico Madrid at San Siro.

However, Ronaldo has now stressed there is no reason for concern ahead of this weekend s showpiece.

It was a little scare, but I ll be fine in a couple of days. I feel good and I will definitely be there on Saturday, the 31-year-old told reporters.

I am getting better. I had a small problem toward the end of the season, which is only normal because I have played more games than any other player. But I am feeling very well.

Ronaldo has been in superb form in this season s competition, scoring 16 goals in 11 matches as he aims to break his own record of 17 set in the club s victorious 2013-14 campaign.

The record is mine whether I score in the final or not, he added. I would obviously love to score, but if I don t score, someone else will.

It will be the game of our life and I think we will win. We are the two best teams around and that is why we are in the final. I think we are the better team, but we have to put in a good performance.

Atletico always play their own game. It is no coincidence that Barcelona and Bayern could not beat them.
