Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is positive over the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale for the UEFA Champions League final against Athletico Madrid on Saturday.
He made it clear that CR7 and Bale will feature in the epic final against fellow city rivals but cast aspersions on the the return of Karim Benzema and Pepe.
"There's no problem, and I think those two (Bale and Ronaldo) are going to be able to play.'' said the manager.
When asked about the fitness situation on Tuesday, Ancelotti revealed his only serious concerns were Pepe and Benzema.
He said "They're the only two players about whom we have doubts. I'm
neither optimistic nor pessimistic. I'm a realist and, as things stand
right now, of course they wouldn't be able to play.
"We have four days to the final and we'll wait and see. If Pepe can't play, (Raphael) Varane can play in his place.
