Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers knows exactly what to expect from Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday night.
The Portuguese star comes to Anfield with Real Madrid for the Group B Champions League fixture which has prompted Rodgers to speak glowingly of his abilities.
Ronaldo already has 15 La Liga goals and two in the Champions League this season and Rodgers knows he will be a handful for his Reds side.
"It's still going to be a very difficult game for us, they have a squad full of top-class players," he said.
"Of course there is a special talent in Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the best player in the world at the moment, and his evolution from being a soloist who scores goals to a goalscorer is there to see and his record is incredible."
"But we have to make a plan for our team first to ensure we cause Real Madrid problems and then prepare yourself for the quality players they have, but that will be as a team."
