Tabarez: It will take entire Uruguay team to stop Cristiano Ronaldo

With four goals in three games, the Celeste coach knows that the Madrid striker could be decisive in the upcoming World Cup clash

Oscar Tabarez said there is not one player who can contain Cristiano Ronaldo as the Uruguay boss highlighted the need for a team effort to stop the Portugal captain in the World Cup last 16.

Ronaldo has been in devastating form in Russia, scoring four goals to help European champions and Group B runners-up Portugal reach the knockout rounds.

All eyes will be on five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo at Fisht Stadium in Sochi on Saturday and Tabarez understands the task facing Uruguay – who qualified as Group A winners – in their pursuit of the quarter-finals.
