The Real Madrid attacker, 27, has scored three goals in Portugal's last two games to guide his team to a last-four fixture in Ukraine on Wednesday.
With the hopes of the nation focused on him, Ronaldo said: "These games are part of my life.
"I have to be used to them. Responsibility yes, pressure no."
However, in their last meeting in November 2010, Ronaldo helped Portugal to a 4-0 friendly victory in Lisbon.
"It's tough trying to stop a player with his qualities," said Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque. "He's extremely dangerous both when he has space and without it.
"We will try to shut him down, the best example of which we can see in the World Cup, which gave us a good result. It will possibly be with different men and names, but the idea is always the same."
Ronaldo is expected to face former Liverpool full-back Alvaro Arbeloa on the flank of the Donbass Arena in Donetsk.
Arbeloa's team-mates have pledged to come to his aid in a team plan to prevent Ronaldo from exerting influence on the fixture.
Fellow Barcelona and Spain player Xavi said: "We have a great full-back in Arbeloa, who is among the best out there defensively speaking.
