Ronaldo Desperate To Face Juve

Real Madrid striker Ronaldo is desperate to face Juventus in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.

The Brazilian sustained a calf injury in the first-leg, and is highly unlikely to be ready.

"It will be very difficult for me to recover in time but I am desperate to play," he said.

"The doctor is not very optimistic but I really want to play a part in Turin in order to book ourselves a place in the Final."

"Returning to Manchester is a major aim for me after my performance there in the previous round."
