It would be a great story for A.Madrid to win both UCL and La Liga in one year

And this is how you neutralize Ronaldo. Get physical with him the first minute on and he will go MIA. This has been his M.O. from his first pro minutes with Manchester United to now with Real Madrid. Every player has some type of kryptonite.

Bale is also getting shut down. You can't compare athletico defense to USA. They have the best defense in the World. Club wise.

Agreed with admsghs27 also they have Simone the best coach of the season... US can not hold down Ronaldo.

A. I didn't compare defenses
B. Portugal isn't as talented attacking wise as Real Madrid
C. The USMNT can definitely shut down Ronaldo. Hell Israel shut down Ronaldo twice.

Early sub, late injury to Juan fran killed Athletico. Too bad I'm sure they are extremely devestated, it will he the equivalent if USA loses in the final minute of the world cup final for USA fans.

Then scores a pk when the game is basically over and won; but still decides to act like a fool who thinks he won the whole thing himself. I'm forever a Messi guy over Ronaldo, the guy acts like such a douche!

Messi would of never acted that way.. he knows he is wayyyyyy better than cristiano. The big mistake was starting Costa. He was a waste of time and sub. I feel really bad for athletico.

No they can not shut him down even if their life's counted on it, but they can slow him down, that's the key to have a chance vs Portugal. Yet Israel lost points to Portugal and didn't qualify to the WC playoffs let alone.
