Serbia can stop Ronaldo and Portugal, says Ivanovic

Portugal's Ronaldo reacts during their international friendly soccer match against Argentina at Old Trafford in Manchester By Zoran Milosavljevic BELGRADE (Reuters) - Portugal have one of the world’s top players in Cristiano Ronaldo but Serbia are good enough to contain him in their Euro 2016 qualifier in Lisbon on Sunday, the Balkan nation’s captain Branislav Ivanovic said. Portugal are second in Group I with six points from three matches, one less than leaders Denmark who have played a game more, while the Serbians are fourth with one point from three games behind Albania who have four from three. Chelsea right back Ivanovic also acknowledged Serbia needed to come away with something from the La Luz stadium in order to keep alive realistic hopes of reaching next year’s tournament in France. "This is a massive game for us and definitely the pivotal moment in the qualifiers because we expected to take more than just one point from our opening three games,” Ivanovic told Serbian media on Friday.
