Zoff hails Ronaldo: 'The only thing you can do is hope that he misses'

Former Juventus goalkeeper Dino Zoff said it is impossible to stop Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo — you just have to hope that he misses.

Juventus and Champions League titleholders Madrid will meet in the first leg of their quarter-final tie in Turin on Tuesday — a rematch of last season's final that saw Ronaldo score twice in a 4-1 rout.

Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in his eight appearances in the Champions League this season, while the 33-year-old has been on the scoresheet at least once in every match since the 2017 decider.

Juve and Italy great Zoff indicated the five-time Ballon d'Or winner cannot be stopped.
