Star striker Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Real Madrid’s King’s Cup final clash with archrivals Barcelona. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti said Ronaldo failed to recover from knee and thigh muscle problems. The Portugal captain and Ballon d’Or winner has missed Real’s last three matches since limping off near the end of the Champions League quarter final against Borussia Dortmund. Ancelotti believes Ronaldo’s absence could provide motivation to the rest of the team to step up and perform at a higher level. -- Mornings @ ANC, April 16, 2014.
