Cristiano Ronaldo will decide on the day whether he fit enough to play in Real Madrids Champions League semi-final second leg against Manchester City, says Guillem Balague. After a 0-0 draw at the Etihad on Tuesday, which Ronaldo missed with a thigh injury, the forward is in a race against time to be fit for Wednesday nights crucial return leg at the Bernabeu.Ronaldo - who will sit out Saturdays league game against Real Sociedad - would be a huge miss for Real having scored 16 goals in 10 Champions League games this season, and Balague says the fact the 31-year-old has chosen to take treatment away from the club is indicative of the medical crisis at Real. Ronaldo felt the pain towards the end of the last training session before the first leg at the Etihad Spanish football expert Balague told Sky Sports: The latest is that he has been treated by physios and doctors away from Real Madrid, which confirms the medical crisis at the club.Ronaldo felt he was OK in the last training session in Manchester before the semi-final draw with City on Tuesday. He sprinted, ran, did everything as usual that you do for the training session, but 10 minutes before the end he felt a sharp pain again.Some are saying there is no tear, others say there is. I believe there is a tear, and he wants to treat it with stem cell treatment, which could speed the healing process. The 31-year-old has scored 16 goals in 10 Champions League games this season It would still be tender, so its a risk for certain, but the stem cell treatment could help him recover. He will decide on the day, and Zidane will follow whatever Cristiano decides.Ronaldos contract at Real Madrid runs out in the summer of 2018, but speculation over his future at the Bernabeu is still rife.Balague says his future does not depend on Reals domestic and Champions League success this season, and that if figures cannot be met with other clubs, the next logical step is to negotiate a new contract with the La Liga side. Ronaldos decision will be final decision, says Balague His future does not depend on Reals success this season. Real and Cristiano have been looking at avenues to part company, but Real have not found a buyer with the money that they want, and Ronaldo hasnt found anyone with the money required for him to leave Real Madrid.Unless a big offer comes in, the next step will be for Real and Cristiano to agree a new contract. Zidane wants him to stay.There have been conversations for clubs for sure, but Manchester United have not shown enough interest to get him, and PSG have calculated that they dont have the money required. But we have to see what happens in the next few weeks. Also See: Benzema doubt for City clash Citys post-CL record Draw is great for Man City Man City: Cheerful or fearful?

Ronny Cedenos squeeze bunt scored Justin Maxwell with the tiebreaking run in the ninth inning to lead Houston over the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Saturday after J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer in the sixth. "In order to play these types of close games, you have to play good baseball," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "What I love about our ballclub is even though we make some mistakes, they dont hang their head. They keep battling, they keep fighting and we find a way to either get ourselves back into the game or make it a ballgame every night." Martinez did just that by tying the score with a long home run after Jose Altuve and Chris Carter singled. "Altuve and Carter were able to get on and without them getting on with two outs, the game is not the same," Martinez said. "It feels good just to tie the game up and give our team a chance." Jose Cisnero (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. Jose Veras earned his 15th save in 18 chances. "Quality pitch after quality pitch, Ill tell you what I like, that his facial expression, his emotion, it never changed," Porter said. Maxwell hit a leadoff double in the ninth against Kevin Gregg (2-1) and moved to third on Matt Dominguezs sacrifice. Cedeno followed with another sacrifice bunt, putting the Astros ahead. Nate Schierholtz hit a solo homer in the fifth to give the Cubs a 3-0 lead. It was his 10th homer this season, setting a career high. Alfonso Soriano reached scoring position in the bottom of the eighth with a double to left field but was called out by second base umpire David Rackley on a pickoff play that drew Chicago manager Dale Sveum out of the dugout for an argument. Replays showed Soriano made it back to the bag before the tag. "I know I had tagged the base before his glove tagged my hands," Soriano said. "I know my lead at seccond base.dddddddddddd It doesnt matter how good of a move the pitcher has, I know my lead and I know I can get back. It doesnt matter if he has a good move." Ryan Sweeney then hit a single that would have given Soriano a great opportunity to score. Instead, the Cubs loaded the bases before Darwin Barney flied out to end the inning. "Soriano is safe at second base, so there is a run," Sveum said. "Its a broken record. We just cant seem to get that hit to break the game open in those situations. We get guys on and we just cant get them in." Chicago starter Travis Wood appeared to be in control after getting a pair of outs to start the sixth inning. But after hard-hit singles by Altuve and Carter, Martinez tied the game with a long home run that cleared the left-field bleachers on its way to Waveland Avenue. "Out of the park, literally out of the park, that was my only one," Martinez said. "This is really the only park you can do it. Everywhere else youve got to hit it 900 feet." Wood had given up just two hits heading into the sixth and looked primed to earn his first victory in his last four starts. "Really, it just falls back on me not being able to execute the pitches at that point," Wood said. "I missed bad (on the home run pitch). It was supposed to be back door and it ended up coming all the way across the plate and that just cant happen." Luis Valbuena put the Cubs ahead with a two-run single in the third after a pair of Houston errors. Barney hit a grounder to third that looked like a sure double play, but Dominguez threw high to second. Astros catcher Carlos Corporan compounded the mistake with an errant pickoff attempt that hit second base and ricocheted into shallow left field, allowing both runners to advance.
