Cristiano Ronaldo says Didier Drogba is not unstoppable and that ­beating Ivory Coast on Tuesday is the key to ­getting through the ‘Group of Death’.

Drogba is a doubt with an elbow injury, but Portugal and Real Madrid star ­Ronaldo said: “It will be a battle against Ivory Coast.

“Like most African teams they’re a big, quick, physical team – and, of course, the have the mighty Drogba.

“To stop Drogba, the ­defence will have to be on their toes. Like any great striker if you switch off he will punish you, but no man is unstoppable.”
