Zinedine Zidane said Ronaldo was "phenomenal" in yesterday's Champions League clash against Legia Warsaw, despite not scoring any goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo could have broken yesterday another record, if he would have scored four goals in Madrid's Champions League clash. The game ended 5-1 but unfortunately the Portuguese failed to score a single goal.

Despite his goalless performance his coach hailed his performance afterwards: "Ronaldo played phenomenally, playing passes to everyone else. He didn't score today but we have a game in four days' time and I'm sure he'll have chances to score then.

"I look at Cristiano tonight and he has given two passes for the goals. That's part of his game. He didn't score tonight, but he scored three days ago and he is contributing. I am happy with him," he said.
