Cristiano Ronaldo: Real Madrid players have more empathy with Zidane

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the win over Sporting Gijon .

Cristiano Ronaldo says Real Madrid's players get on better with Zinedine Zidane than his predecessor Rafa Benitez.

Zidane's dream start in charge continued with a 5-1 thrashing of Sporting Gijon on Sunday, with Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both scoring twice.
Benitez's reign ended after just 25 games amid rumours of dressing room discontent, and Ronaldo confirmed the former Liverpool manager didn't have the same regard among Madrid's star-studded squad as Zidane, who was a Ballon d'Or winner himself as a player.
