Albert Ferrer believes his former club Barcelona must stifle Cristiano Ronaldo if the Catalans are to prevail when they meet Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals later this month. Ronaldo is the leading scorer in the European club competition this season with seven goals so far. And in his column in Catalan sports daily El Mundo Deportivo on Friday, Ferrer conceded that stopping the Portugal winger is easier said than done.
Ferrer also added that Barcelona must try to push Ronaldo and Nani back into more defensive positions. Despite praising United's attacking attributes, Ferrer identified the right-back position as a potential problem for the Red Devils. Ferrer, himself a right-back with the Catalan outfit and later Chelsea, believes United have few other noticeable weaknesses at the back.
