Euro 2024: He’s very good right now – Turkey star warns teammates about Ronaldo


Turkish defender Merih Demiral has issued a warning to his teammates concerning veteran Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Demiral gave the warning ahead of Turkey’s clash against Portugal on Saturday in Euro 2024.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference on Thursday, the player pointed out that the legendary forward is currently in top form.

He said they needed to ‘be very careful as a defence’ against the 39-year-old former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus goal machine.

Turkiye won their first game 3-1 against Georgia, while Portugal beat Czechia 2-1 in their opener.

The former Juventus centre-back said (via @TimelineCR7 on X): “Ronaldo’s level is very good right now. He was in a very good condition when we played against each other in Saudi Arabia. He is a football player who loves to work and sets an example for everyone. We need to be very careful as a defence.”
