Michael Owen and Sol Campbell expect goal-machine Cristiano Ronaldo to go into overdrive in Portugal's "weak" Euro 2016 group.
The duo are tipping the Real Madrid ace to make the most of playing against the inexperienced defenders of Iceland and Hungary.
And they they believe he could be a shoe-in for the Golden Boot before the knockout stages even kick off.
Owen, who scored 40 goals for England in 89 appearances, said: "Group F is probably the weakest of the six I’d say with Portugal the standout team so let’s start with them and you can’t talk about Portugal without talking about Ronaldo. He’s a special player and his reputation as the finest player in the tournament is well-deserved.
"But there’s more to Portugal than CR7. They’ve got Bayern Munich’s new starlet Renato Sanches. He’s an attacking midfielder and if the opposition is too distracted with Ronaldo they might get hurt by this guy but there’s little doubt that if Portugal are to win this tournament they will need the Real Madrid forward to bang the goals in for them.”
