“That’s what this man is capable of, we’re happy to have him here,” Zidane told Real Madrid TV after the game.

“We put in a disciplined display and made a good start. I’m happy because the fans came out in their numbers and that was very important for us.

“We achieved what we wanted to, the trophy remains here and we all head home happy.”

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, had earlier confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will feature for 90 minutes, in their game against Fiorentina on Wednesday.
