Ronaldo drew a blank in last Sunday&rsquo;s disappointing 1-1 draw at strugglers Real Betis which left Zidane&rsquo;s men four points adrift of Barcelona and city rivals Atletico. But Zidane sprung to the defence of his out-of-sorts superstar, telling a press conference: &ldquo;He (Ronaldo) hasn&rsquo;t lost his goalscoring ability &mdash; he hasn&rsquo;t lost anything. &ldquo;He is happy with the work he&rsquo;s doing &mdash; training has been lighter than normal so that the team will be fresh for tomorrow.&rdquo;
