Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón has issued a pointed warning to his teammates ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash in Dallas — Cristiano Ronaldo may not be the force he was at his peak, but inside the penalty box, he remains as lethal as ever.
Simón acknowledged that this version of Ronaldo differs from the one who dominated the game six or seven years ago, yet the goalkeeper's respect for the Portuguese captain is unmistakable. Ronaldo's ability to find the net in tight spaces, he argued, makes him a constant threat that Spain cannot afford to underestimate.
