This time they weren’t Cristiano Ronaldo’s tears. Instead the Portugal superstar’s role was to console a weeping teammate after a painful exit from their last European Championship and maybe their final major international tournament.

Defeat for Portugal at the European Championship on Friday likely brought down the curtain on the extraordinary international career of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Liking Griezmann back in his purer No 10 role — Bruno Fernandes has already fouled him. A similar split-strikers system to what Luis Enrique used with Mbappe and Barcola earlier this season in the Champions League. Confident start by France. By my admittedly rusty reckoning, every player except Mbappe touched the ball in their opening possession.
