Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury and could be fit to face Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday.

Ronaldo has not featured since April 20, but could return for the second leg having missed last week’s 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

“Every Champions League match feels like the first,” Ronaldo said. “And Real Madrid’s priority is to win. We know it will be a tough challenge, but everything is possible.”

The 31-year-old Portuguese trained with his team-mates during the first half of yesterday’s session before working out on the pitch alone.

“Man. City are in the semi-finals because they are an excellent team,” Ronaldo added. “Eliminating PSG is not easy, but they managed it.”
