How do Liverpool stop Cristiano Ronaldo?

Teamwork, concentration and confidence will be key if Jurgen Klopp's side are to snuff out a Champions League legend in Kiev

It’s the most obvious piece of football analysis ever, but if Liverpool are to win the Champions League this weekend then stopping Cristiano Ronaldo will be key.

Real Madrid’s Portuguese superstar may not possess all the powers he once did. He may be 33, troubled by injury and without the explosiveness which once defined him, but he will still carry Los Blancos’ fight in Kiev on Saturday.

Ronaldo is the Champions League’s top scorer this season with 15 goals.
