Germany’s defence managed to subdue Ronaldo the last time the teams met when Portugal lost 3-2 in the Euro 2008 quarter-finals and Podolski says the Germans have to do it again. “He belongs to the best in the world and we have to stop him,” Podolski told German daily Bild.
“But we managed that the last time we played against Portugal and we’ll do it again on Saturday.”
