Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane claims that he has still not decided his starting XI for Saturday's Champions League final against Liverpool in Kiev.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has claimed that he has still not decided his starting XI for Saturday's Champions League final against Liverpool in Kiev.

Cristiano Ronaldo is certain to start in the Spanish outfit's attack, but Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Isco, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez are all unsure of their positions in the team.

Bale's recent form has led to strong suggestions that the Welshman will start, and Zidane has revealed that deciding which players will feature from the onset is 'already giving him a headache'.

"Choosing my starting XI is already giving me a headache," Diario AS quotes Ronaldo as saying. "The front three (Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo) for me are the best, by a long way, as they have shown many times they are very good.

"But then I must give others a chance too, be true to my messages and belief in rotation, in different styles and formation but I will not say now who starts on Saturday, I do not even know myself for sure."

Madrid will enter this weekend's final off the back of a 2-2 draw with Villarreal in La Liga.
