Roberto Mancini warns City over Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester return
Roberto Mancini has joked only the law may be able to stop Cristiano Ronaldo when Manchester City host Real Madrid on Wednesday in a Champions League group game they have to win to maintain any hope of progressing alive, the Guardian said.
Asked how to nullify the threat of Ronaldo, who last season scored 46 times in La Liga and 60 goals in all competitions, Mancini said: "We'll call the police. He's a top player and he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or [the world player of the year award]. He scored so many goals last year and that helped them to finish above Barça [to win the title]. I hope he can have a bad night on Wednesday. When you come up against a player who can score one or two goals every game it is difficult."
