"Then you will see if he starts or not."If Bale is restored to the Madrid forward line, it will be alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in prime goalscoring form. The four-time Ballon d'Or winner netted a decisive hat-trick as 10-man Bayern were dispatched 4-2 on the night and 6-3 on aggregate, taking his tally over the course of the tie to five. Ronaldo is aiming to add to a career haul of 16 Clasico goals as Madrid look to strengthen their grip on the title race – they lead LaLiga by three points ahead of Barca - and Zidane paid tribute to the 32-year-old's inspirational qualities. "Physically, mentally and morally he's very, very ready for a big game," he said. "Him like all the other players, but we always talk about Cristiano in the big games"Again, he showed it the other night in the Champions League. The energy he gives this team is amazing. It's very important, very positive."</blockquote>
