Man Utd star Ronaldo: Power Portugal! But respect North Macedonia

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has warned Portugal teammates to "respect the opponent", knowing that North Macedonia stand in their way of a spot at the World Cup.

The 37-year-old played all 90 minutes as Portugal beat Turkey 3-1 on Thursday night to book a final play-off game against North Macedonia, who qualified after beating Euro 2020 champions Italy in dramatic fashion.

In an Instagram post, Ronaldo wrote: "The first step has been taken towards our great objective, towards the 2022 World Cup.

"Nothing is won, nothing is achieved. We have to continue to work in a serious and focused way, respecting the opponent but always believing in our abilities.

"Power Portugal! Go to Qatar!"
