MADRID - REAL Madrid's record signing Cristiano Ronaldo has passed his medical examination ahead of his presentation to fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Madrid's medical staff said the Portugal winger is in 'perfect conditions' after arriving in the Spanish capital on Monday following his 80 million pound (S$189 million) transfer from Manchester United.

Fans were queuing outside the Bernabeu from 12.30pm local time to see the 24-year-old Ronaldo, with up to 80,000 expected at the stadium.

The presentation is expected to be the largest reception for a player since Argentina great Diego Maradona arrived at Napoli in 1984. -- AP
