Cristiano Ronaldo will be the man in the spotlight on Sunday, but Roberto Martinez says Belgium cannot afford to focus only on the Portugal star. 

Ronaldo tied Ali Daei s record of 109 international goals with a pair of penalties against France to send Portugal into the knockout stage of the European Championship. 

Still, Martinez insists Ronaldo will get no special attention in their last-16 clash. 

When you put a plan against a specific player, you can be hurt by other players, the Belgium head coach told a news conference. The way that Portugal plays, they’ve got a lot of threat, they’ve got a lot of pace in behind.

Of course Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be the player that gets the right moment, the right pass and the right chance, and you hav…

Juventus have confirmed the signing of Federico Chiesa from Serie A rivals Fiorentina.

After completing his medical on Monday, the Italy international joins on an initial two-year loan deal at a total cost of €10million.

Juve also have a purchase option, which is for €40m and could rise to €50m.

His arrival comes after Douglas Costa departed the club earlier in the day, the Brazilian returning to Bayern Munich on loan for the 2020-21 season.

Juve had already added midfield duo Arthur and Weston McKennie to bolster the squad, along with forward Alvaro Morata.

Chiesa scored 10 goals in 34 Serie A appearances last term, while he has found the net once in three outings at the start of the new campaign.

The 22-year-old has play…

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has a “very good chance” of facing Rangers but will not be risked on Livingston’s artificial surface.

Manager Brendan Rodgers will delay McGregor’s comeback until after Sunday’s cinch Premiership contest at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

The midfielder has been troubled by Achilles pain and has not featured since coming off at half-time during Celtic’s 7-1 win over Dundee on February 28.

Rodgers said: “Callum has been out on the field, but we are not risking him in this game. But he should hopefully re-join training next week.”

When asked if McGregor had a chance of facing Rangers, Rodgers replied: “Yes, a very good chance.”

Reo Hatate is set to make his return after playing only 19 minutes for Celtic s…

Title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal played out a hard-fought but largely forgettable goalless draw as Liverpool ended the weekend top of the Premier League.

After Jurgen Klopp’s men came back to beat Brighton earlier on Sunday, attention turned to the Etihad Stadium for the final league meeting between any of the three teams vying for glory.

But the high-profile clash fell well short of the pre-match hype as Pep Guardiola’s men were held by former City coach Mikel Arteta and his well-drilled Arsenal side in a cagey 0-0 draw – the first time in 76 Premier League games that last season’s treble winners have been involved in a goalless stalemate.

Whether this proves an important point for either side or a missed opportunity remains to be seen, with Live…

Defender Matthew Spiranovic says Australia are buoyant after their win over Kuwait, but are wary of an Oman backlash.

The Socceroos – resounding 4-1 winners over Kuwait on Friday – could take a step closer to the Asian Cup quarter-finals if they can dispose of Oman in Sydney on Tuesday.

After the Omanis went down in their opener against South Korea 1-0 on Saturday, Spiranovic knows Paul Le Guen s outfit will have to go for broke to remain in the tournament.

And the Western Sydney Wanderers FC defender knows all too well the dangers Oman possess.

He was a part of the Socceroos squad that lost to the Gulf nation in a World Cup qualifier in Muscat in 2011 – the only time Australia have ever lost to Oman.

“From the 45 minutes I saw yesterday (…

Fergie keen on Benfica star duo

Manchester United are weighing up double swoop for Benfica stars Nicolas Gaitan and Javi Garcia, according to Independent.

Disappointed by the Champions League exit and some unexpected struggles in the Premiership, Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to add some fresh talent in January.

According to Independent, the Scottish manager is really keen on Benfica duo Nicolas Gaitan and Javi Garcia.

The Red Devils have followed the Argentine forward for quite some time and they had the chance to witness his qualities at first hand as United and Benfica met twice in Champions League group stages.

The 23-year-old is considered a key member of the squad at La Luz and his release clause stands at €45 million.

Gaitan is not t…

Roy Keane has warned Republic of Ireland s Group E opponents not to underestimate them ahead of their Euro 2016 bow against Sweden at the Stade de France on Monday.

Ireland suffered a 2-1 defeat to Belarus in their final warm-up fixture on May 31, though veteran forward Robbie Keane was absent due to a calf problem.

Despite heading into the match on the back of a disappointing loss, the assistant coach offered assurances they will prove a match for anyone in France.

Don t doubt what this group of players will bring to the party, said Roy Keane.

The other teams are in for a tough game against us. We know we re in for a tough game on Monday. They are a good team.

Robbie Keane has not been Martin O Neill s only fitness worry, with Jonathan Walte…

Cesc Fabregas has stressed Spain will give everything to see off Croatia in Tuesday s Euro 2016 encounter in order to top Group D.

The reigning champions have already booked their ticket for the round of 16 following wins over Czech Republic and Turkey and are expected to rest a number of key figures.

Nevertheless, Fabregas is adamant they will not take things easy in the encounter in Bordeaux.

We have been playing very well, with a certain freedom and fluency. We have been defending very well and that allows us to be fresher going forward, Fabregas said at a news conference.

This next game is very important, even more than people can imagine. It s crucial for us to be first in the group. It will be determinant for the rest of the tournament.
