Real Madrid manager Zinedine zidane has spoken about Cristiano Ronaldo during his press conference to preview the Club World Cup semi-final in Japan.

Zidane highlighted the work of Ronaldo and even said that the Ballon d'Or he was awarded on Monday was more than deserved. What's more, Zidane has gone one step further and said there will never be anyone equal to Ronaldo at Madrid.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the history of Real Madrid. Any player can come here and they will never be able to achived what Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved. There will never be anyone the same," Zidane said.

"His four Ballon d'Ors are a chapeau, it's not easy to win them. It is very difficult to do what he has done, but I think he can win another Ballon d'Or," insisted Zidane on Ronaldo, who now has four Ballon d'Ors, one less than Lionel Messi.

Meanwhile, on Thursday's semi-final against America, Zidane has said that "the motivation Cristiano has is huge. He's always the same, whether it's a friendly or training (...) he wants to win everything. I am not worried about his motivation."
