Cristiano Ronaldo's presence makes Portugal a more significant potential target for terror attacks during Euro 2016, according to coach Fernando Santos. France is on alert ahead of the tournament, which starts on June 10, following the Islamic State group terror attacks in Paris last November that left 130 people dead.

"As everybody knows, Portugal is considered one of the high-risk teams due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. But we are prepared for this," Santos told reporters after his side's 1-0 friendly loss to England on Thursday. "In reality, this will be the responsibility of the French security. Our fans will have to understand that at certain moments we won't be able to release our players as we would like."
