La Liga: Cristiano Ronaldo Plays Against Real Betis After Five-Game Ban

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo trains with his teammates ahead of his first La Liga game of the season against Real Betis on Wednesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 32-year-old Portuguese forward has missed Real’s opening four league games and the second leg of the Supercopa de Espana against Barcelona due to a five-match ban imposed on him after he pushed a referee back in August.

”We’re happy to have Cristiano Ronaldo back. I hope it’s the last time we’re without him. He looks happy, very happy, because he likes to play, to be with the group and his team-mates. Tomorrow he’s back at the Santiago Bernabeu and every player likes that. I think that the stats speak for themselves when we’re talking about what Cristiano contributes. There’s almost no player in the world who gets as many goals and as decisive ones as him and (Lionel) Messi. That’s what makes the difference. It’s going to be difficult for him to improve on those impressive statistics but he’s ambitious and I wouldn’t be surprised,” Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said in a statement published on the club’s official website.
