Age Hareide: 'Anton Tinnerholm will control Cristiano Ronaldo'

Malmo boss Age Hareide has claimed that his centre-back Anton Tinnerholm is "perfect" for controlling Cristiano Ronaldo when the Swedish side face Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Los Blancos will make the trip to Sweden on Wednesday, with Ronaldo looking to add to the treble that he scored in their first Group A match against Shakhtar Donetsk last time out.

Hareide, however, has said that 24-year-old Tinnerholm, who joined Malmo in 2014, will thrive against the Portuguese.

"[Tinnerholm] is perfect for the mission of marking Ronaldo. He won't be afraid at all. I promise we'll be all over him," Marca quotes Hareide as saying.

Ronaldo has scored 65 Champions League goals in 64 games for Real Madrid since joining from Manchester United in 2009.
