Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says he'll be ready for Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo in their round of 16 Euro 2020 clash.

Portugal will face Belgium with Ronaldo in lethal form, yet despite the forward having scored in every single game at the tournament so far, Belgium goalkeeper, Courtois, believes he has evolved since he last came up against the forward.

Ronaldo scored a lot of goals past Courtois during his time with Atletico Madrid, and with the Portuguese star having already netted five times at Euro 2020, the odds are stacked against Real Madrid's stopper.

"We have a plan to stop Portugal, they aren't just one player," Courtois admitted in his pre-match press conference.

"Cristiano is the top scorer in the Euros, he's an excellent player, obviously. However, I think he is still the same player he was when I was at Atletico, I have evolved more."
