Cristiano Ronaldo red alert for Northern Ireland's Aaron Hughes
AARON HUGHES expects Cristiano Ronaldo to be at his world-beating best when Northern Ireland face Portugal tomorrow.
The Real Madrid superstar is set to win his 100th cap in the World Cup qualifier in Porto and few would bet against him marking the occasion in style.
"I have played a handful of times against him but maybe he has gone up another level since his days in the Premier League, and maybe he can go further," said Hughes.
"I don't think he has peaked, and he appears to be getting better."
