Germany will aim to shut down Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday with the hosts under pressure to beat holders Portugal in order to get their Euro 2020

After losing their opening game 1-0 to France on Tuesday after a Mats Hummels own goal, Germany badly need a win in Group F – and to stop Ronaldo from adding to his phenomenal goal tally.

The Portuguese superstar has now netted a record 11 goals at five European Championship finals after scoring twice in Portugal’s 3-0 win over Hungary in Budapest. With 106 goals in 176 games for Portugal, he is three short of the all-time international record, set by Ali Daei who scored 109 goals for Iran between 1993 and 2006.

The Juventus forward has never scored against Germany in four previous attempts, the most recent when Portugal were swept aside 4-0 at the 2014 World Cup.“I don’t watch videos of his ‘best-of’ clips,” centre-back Matthias Ginter, who will be tasked with containing Ronaldo, joked on Thursday at Germany’s base in Bavaria.“He’s still one of the best strikers in the world and has now scored two goals, so you have to be careful, but we’re looking forward to playing against him.
