Ronaldo returns from injury to start against Manchester City

Having successfully battled a thigh strain, Cristiano Ronaldo took the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

After Zinedine Zidane announced that Ronaldo is "100 percent" for the second leg of the tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League's semi-finals, the Portuguese phenom was included in Los Blancos' starting XI for the fixture.

Ronaldo, who suffered during Real Madrid's 3-0 La Liga victory over Villarreal and completed a full training session on Monday for the first time, is two goals shy of breaking his own record for the most goals scored by a player in a single Champions League campaign, set in 2013-14 when he found the back of the net 17 times.
