Can CR7 take Portugal into the knockout rounds?

France came into the tournament as standout favourites, but Les Bleus dropped two big points against Hungary and HAVE ONLY TWO GOALS TO SHOW for one hundred and eighty minutes of Benzema, Griezmann and Mbappe.

That’s pretty bad math anyway you look at it….

Free scoring Portugal on the other hand have already found the net five times (well, technically SEVEN if you include two own goals against Germany) - and with Ronaldo (image) ONLY A HATRICK AWAY from the men’s international goals-scoring record, CR7 will be DESPERATE to drag his team across the line and into the second round.

The teams canceled each other out in a drab 0-0 friendly in Paris last month, but this a must-win match that’ll be played at a TOTALLY DIFFERENT tempo.

Both sides will have to risk everything - and even more so as the clock runs down.

It's a tough call, but a footballing legend’s quest to cement his own #1 status could prove the difference maker. Playing in his final European Championship, Ronaldo has more to win - and more to lose - than anyone...
