Ronaldo was back at San Siro for Inter’s Champions League play-off with Bodo/Glimt, but was shocked by the worst possible question from Fabio Capello. ‘No more!’
It kicks off at San Siro at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.

The Nerazzurri need all the help they can get to overturn a 3-1 first leg defeat to the Norwegians, especially as captain Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu are out of action.
They hope to get some inspiration from the presence before kick-off of former Inter legends Ronaldo and Christian Vieri, who were awarded special edition jerseys.
Ronaldo always a special figure for Inter fans

“It’s wonderful to be back here, to feel the emotion of these fans, who are so important for me,” the Brazilian told Sky Sport Italia.
“Those fans can also make their impact felt and help Inter to win tonight.”
His old Real Madrid coach Capello was in the studio and asked just one question of his former player: How much do you weigh now?
“Still with the weight? No more!” replied Ronaldo with a laugh.

Much to the amusement of the rest of the panel, the now retired coach revealed he had weighed Ronaldo every single day in Madrid to make sure he kept in shape during the 2006-07 season.
Capello also explained in the Sky Sport Italia studio that Ronaldo was “the most talented player I ever worked with, but when it came to his lifestyle, he left rather a lot to be desired.”
