Ronaldo not anxious about his lack of goals – Zidane

Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, has said Cristiano Ronaldo is not getting anxious about his lack goals, after their 2-0 win over Espanyol on Saturday.

Alvaro Morata and the returning Gareth Bale scored for Madrid, as they extended their lead at the top of the table to five points.

Ronaldo failed to find the back of the net with any of his three shots on target during the game.

Zidane, however, insists the Portugal captain should have been awarded a penalty in stoppage time, after being challenged by defender Aaron Martin.

“We all know Cristiano,” Zidane said at his post-match media conference.

“He always scores and when he doesn’t he can get anxious, but he was not like that here.

“I am not worried about him. I think he helped us a lot and did a lot of running, like against Napoli. I know he will make a difference for us at the key moments.

“There was no offside on Cristiano and it was a penalty without a doubt. I’m sure it would have been 3-0 then and we would have deserved that.”
