Lahm: 'Whole team must stop Ronaldo'

Philipp Lahm believes that the entire Bayern Munich team must be responsible for stopping Cristiano Ronaldo in their semi-final clash with Real Madrid tomorrow evening.

The Portuguese attacker will head into the tie with over 50 goals to his name in all competitions this season.

As a result, full-back Lahm has highlighted the importance of defending against Ronaldo as a unit.

"You have to defend against him with the whole team," he told Goal.com. "Individual players can never be 100% turned off."

Ronaldo has found the net eight times in Europe so far this campaign.
