REAL Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insists he has put Cristiano Ronaldo’s outburst at his own teammates behind him as he attempts to turnaround a terrible season for the Spanish giant.

    Madrid sits third in La Liga, 12 points adrift of runaway leader Barcelona, after losing 0-1 to Atletico Madrid on Saturday. After the game Ronaldo said Real would be top if his teammates matched his standards.

    The three-time World Player of the Year later claimed he was only referring to his colleagues level of fitness as Madrid has been ravaged by injuries this season.

    “Cristiano has spoken with everyone. This subject is behind us,” Zidane said Tuesday.

    “We all know the importance Cristiano has and we are all with him. The issue has been fixed. The most important thing is what we have ahead and we will face that by all sticking together.”
