Didier Deschamps says that France must limit Cristiano Ronaldo's influence in their friendly against Portugal this weekend.

France manager Didier Deschamps has admitted that his team will need to pay "special attention" to Cristiano Ronaldo in their upcoming international fixture against Portugal.

The 29-year-old has scored 17 goals in 11 games for Real Madrid this season and bagged a hat-trick during his club's 5-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

"This is a player who has a very high efficiency," he told reporters. " The people who will come to the stadium will be happy to see him. I do not know if he will play or how long he will play since Portugal has an important game three days later.

"It takes a special attention, of course. In one against one, he manages to make a difference. Limiting his influence to his team is something important but it also allows more freedom for those who are around him."

Ronaldo is Portugal's all-time leading scorer with 50 goals from 114 appearances.
