It was a night of victories for our Bianconeri duo, Ronaldo and Rabiot, in Euro action. Both Portugal and France claimed three important points in their opening fixtures of the Euro 2020.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates took to the field against Hungary yesterday evening, in what proved to be a trickier game than the scoreline suggested. Up until the 84th minute the scoreline remained locked at 0-0, before a goal from Guerreiro opened the scoring. CR7 then followed up with a penalty and a goal of his own in the 87th and 92nd minute to secure a 3-0 victory.
Ronaldo's exploits for Portugal, meant he became the tournament's leading all-time goalscorer with 11 goals to his name, while he also became the first player to feature in five Euro competitions and the first player to score at five consecutive EURO final tournaments.
In the later kick-off, Adrien Rabiot started from the first minute for France in their 1-0 victory against Germany, which they won courtesy of an own goal from Mats Hummels.
Tonight, Ramsey and Demiral will come face-to-face in Turkey vs Wales, while Bonucci, Chiellini, Bernardeschi and Chiesa will take on Switzerland.
