Cristiano Ronaldo has stated his intention to play for Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Camp Nou, as his recovery from an ankle problem has been driving him to distraction on the touchline.

"It's been six weeks since I played in a game and I'm dying to play," he conceded to Marca.

"I can endure the pain and I want to play against Barcelona, no isn't an option.

"I am really up for it and very eager," he added.

Ronaldo is likely to be given a half hour run out in los Merengues' Champions League match against FC Zurich this week, with the Spanish side looking to secure their qualification to the next round.

Both Milan and Real Madrid can qualify from Group C with a game to spare on Wednesday night if they beat Olympique Marseille and Zurich respectively.
