'Ronaldo is still a beast' - Fonte warns Euro 2020 rivals to 'expect nothing but greatness' from Portugal captain

 

The defender says his international team-mate has shown no signs of slowing down despite advancing into his mid-thirties

Cristiano Ronaldo is "still a beast" according to Jose Fonte, who has warned Portugal's Euro 2020 rivals to "expect nothing but greatness" from their captain.

Ronaldo has been widely regarded as one of the best players in the world for well over a decade, and his output in the final third remains high despite recently turning 36.

The Juventus forward faced some criticism last season after failing to inspire the Italian club beyond the last 16 in the Champions League, with some suggesting his powers are finally starting to wane.
