Ronaldo still a threat
The Swiss are set to take on Portugal in a last-16 showdown at the 2022 World Cup and questions have been asked of whether Ronaldo is still capable of inspiring Portugal to a triumphant finish. Shaqiri admits it will be foolish to write Ronaldo off

Shaqiri said: “You cannot write off Cristiano, he is one of the best players in the world together with Messi. This guy can score any second, any minute, he has the experience and everyone knows how important he is for Portugal and for his team.”
Shaqiri, who now plays his club football in MLS for the Chicago Fire, added:
)
“We have to know also the other players because it is not only Ronaldo, they have very good players, young players who can make a big difference and we need to give really a very good performance because it's knockout and anything can happen in the 95-100 minutes and we are looking forward to it.”
