Ronaldo’s lack of movement compared to his peak years often makes it more difficult for Portugal’s creative players, but he is still so much of a presence you wonder if it might just work
He may be in his 40th year but the Cristiano Ronaldo show is displaying no signs of slowing down. And it seems that no-one - from child to adult, or from the stands to the dugout - is immune.
Martinez expressed safety concerns after the match, with unused substitute Goncalo Ramos wiped out by a steward who was chasing an invading fan, but most of Ronaldo’s team-mates have seen it all before. Many feel there are other prices too. Manchester City star Silva had lamented Portugal’s inability to get more players into the box for the majority of their late win over the Czech Republic, deciding to put that right himself with the opening goal in Dortmund.
“We saw something extraordinary for me, he was in front of the goalkeeper and he went to Bruno,” gushed Martinez.
