WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal put through their paces in training ahead of Iran World Cup encounter

Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the Portugal World Cup squad trained on Sunday ahead of their last Group B clash with Iran.

Portugal have muddled through their opening two matches in Russia thanks to the brilliance of Ronaldo, whose four goals have helped them collect four points, after a 3-3 draw against Iberian rivals Spain and an edgy 1-0 win over Morocco.

Against Spain, Portugal had only 39 per cent possession, yet managed a draw thanks to Ronaldo's hat-trick, while against Morocco, they struck early and then clung on for dear life at the end.

That has left them needing one point on Monday against Iran, a team led by former Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz, to secure their spot in the last 16.
