In a recent statement, Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón expressed his views on Cristiano Ronaldo's current form, stating that the Portuguese star is no longer at the height of his career. Simón emphasized that while Ronaldo may not be in his prime, he still poses a considerable danger to opposing teams.

"The Cristiano we have in the World Cup is not the same as he was six or seven years ago, nor is he at the peak of his career," Simón remarked. He highlighted the importance of keeping Ronaldo away from the penalty area, noting that even a single chance can lead to a goal, as demonstrated in the recent Nations League final.

Simón acknowledged Ronaldo's relentless hunger for goals, stating, "He has a thirst for scoring that any team would want to have on their side." This upcoming match will see Simón and Ronaldo face off as Spain takes on Portugal in the round of 16 of the World Cup, scheduled for Monday at 21:00 hours.

Ronaldo has already netted three goals in the tournament, showcasing that despite not being at his peak, he remains a formidable opponent on the pitch.
