The French coach moved the Portuguese attacker from the centre to the flank for Saturday's match against Athletic and feels the change worked well as they went on to win 4-2


Zinedine Zidane feels Cristiano Ronaldo proved his worth on the wing as he scored twice in 10-man Real Madrid's 4-2 win over Athletic on Saturday.


Ronaldo's double helped Madrid negotiate a difficult test against Athletic at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the visitors cancel out his early opener through Javier Eraso before Aritz Aduriz rattled the crossbar.


James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos scored to make it 3-1 before Raphael Varane's second yellow card, while Ronaldo and Gorka Elustondo were on target in the final stages of an entertaining contest.
