Cristiano Ronaldo will be back for Real Madrid's second leg matchup against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday.
Real Madrid is up 3-0 in the matchup after the first leg, but coach Carlo Ancelotti is not convinced that his team has already won the semifinal.
"We have an important advantage, but to avoid problems we need to show the same attitude and intensity as in the first leg," said Ancelotti, according to ESPN. "A really important moment of the season is arriving. This last period was important for us, to catch up with Atletico and Barca. We want to play this competition the same as all the others. Our aim is to play the final, and we will do our best tomorrow."
Ronaldo is currently on his second game of a three-game ban that he received during a match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Fortunately for Ronaldo, he's eligible to play for Madrid in the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
"Cristiano likes to play all the games," said Ancelotti about letting Ronaldo play the game. "I do not think he has more hunger for this game than any other. We hope our appeal is good and he can play the upcoming games in La Liga."
Letting Ronaldo play is also important because it gives the superstar a chance to overcome his current slump. He has not scored in three straight games for Madrid and has just three goals in seven matches since winning the Ballon d'Or in January.
Atletico needs to win 4-0 or better in order to clinch a spot in the Copa del Rey final. If Real Madrid scores one goal, then Atletico would need five.
Prediction: Real Madrid wins 2-1.
