boss admitted he is intentionally sitting the Portugal superstar in an attempt to keep him fresh in the club's hunt for titles
Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane is leaving Cristiano Ronaldo out of away games in order to keep his star man fresh for the fight for titles on all fronts.
Ronaldo sat out his fourth consecutive La Liga away game at relegated Granada, as James Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata hit first-half braces in a comfortable 4-0 win that keeps Madrid level with Barcelona at the summit.
Four-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo has hit back-to-back Champions League hat-tricks against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid since last travelling away domestically to Athletic Bilbao in March.

And, with the return leg against Atleti in midweek, Zidane suggested he has a policy that is paying dividends.
Asked at a post-match news conference whether the 32-year-old was being left out of away games to give him a greater amount of rest, Zidane replied: "Yes."
