CRISTIANO RONALDO EQUALLED FRENCH LEGEND MICHEL
PLATINI’S RECORD OF NINE GOALS IN THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS WITH A
BULLET HEADER TO GIVE PORTUGAL THE LEAD OVER WALES IN THEIR EURO 2016
SEMI-FINAL.
The three-time
World Player of the Year rose highest to head home Raphael Guerreiro’s cross
and open the scoring in the 50th minute in Lyon.
Ronaldo then teed
up Portugal’s second as his shot was turned home by Nani.
The
Real Madrid star was taking part in a record third Euros semi-final and took
his tally for the tournament to three.
Ronaldo scored twice as Portugal reached the final of Euro 2004, once at Euro
2008 and three times before a semi-final exit to Spain at Euro 2012.
Platini scored all of his goals at the 1984 Euros, which
France won on home soil.
