Real Madrid have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will miss tonight's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.

Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti  confirmed that his star player would not feature in the clash with their arch-rivals because of a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action for their last three matches.

“Cristiano is not available because we don’t want to take risks and we have other very important games to come this season," he said at a press conference.

Real will hope to capitalize on the growing problems at Barcelona.
