Cristiano Ronaldo expects a challenging encounter against Spain

Cristiano Ronaldo has labelled Spain as “favourites to win the World Cup” ahead of Portugal’s last‑16 clash, predicting a tight and demanding contest. Speaking after the 2-1 victory over Croatia, the 41‑year‑old captain said his team know Spain “inside out” and must be fully prepared for a battle he expects to be decided by fine margins. Ronaldo insisted he feels physically strong despite the intensity of Thursday’s match, stressing that Portugal will approach the knockout phase step by step.

Reflecting on his equalising penalty, he admitted that tension is natural in decisive moments but denied ever feeling fear, maintaining confidence as he converted from the spot. Ronaldo also paid tribute to Luka Modric, calling his former Real Madrid teammate “a footballing legend” and wishing him well after Croatia’s elimination. With Portugal advancing and Spain unbeaten, the upcoming encounter promises one of the tournament’s most compelling fixtures.
