Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid (Peace Cup)
Denmark and Portugal clash this Saturday in a decisive World Cup qualifier, and Danish centre-back Simon Kjaer, who plays for Palermo, has admitted that his team will look to stop Cristiano Ronaldo at all costs.

"We have to irritate Cristiano Ronaldo from the start, we have to hit him and knock him down a couple of times, but without seeing a yellow card," Kjaer is quoted as saying by Lusa.

Denmark are leading their group with 16 points from six matches, while Portugal stand third on nine points.
