Switzerland’s Manuel Akanji has revealed that he is excited and eager to face Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
On Tuesday, Switzerland and Portugal will face off in the Round of 16 of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World.
Recall that Akanji was denied the opportunity to face Cristiano Ronaldo in the Manchester derby earlier this season.
Even though he’s getting older, he’s still a goal machine,” Akanji told reporters
“You can’t give him any space in the penalty area.
“When he gets to the ball, the ball is usually inside. You have to be very close to him.”
