Cristiano Ronaldo holds nothing back in plea to team-mates after Portugal boss scolding

Cristiano Ronaldo has issued a battle cry to his Portugal team-mates ahead of their clash against Switzerland on Tuesday night.

Portugal take on the Swiss at Lusail Stadium for a spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. Ronaldo, 37, and his team-mates are the favourites for the last-16 tie after recording impressive group-stage victories against Ghana and Uruguay.

Yet Portugal suffered a 2-1 defeat by South Korea in their final group game, with Ronaldo putting his finger to his mouth after he was substituted by manager Fernando Santos in the 65th minute. Despite the row, the forward is looking forward to Tuesday night's game.
