Diogo Costa reveals how he saved Christian Eriksen's penalty after chat with Cristiano Ronaldo during Portugal's Nations League tie with Denmark.

The 25-year-old had a lengthy chat with Portugal team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo before saving Eriksen's first-half spot-kick. After the 1-0 defeat on Thursday, the keeper said the look in the Manchester United man's eyes gave him the clue he would shoot to his right and sure enough he did.

He said after the game: "We study the penalty takers, I never go with a decided side, it's very much about the goalkeeper's scent and that's how it went. The look in his eyes made me feel like he was going to shoot to my right and I believed it. But it was a bad day for the national team. We played more the football they wanted than the football we wanted and the game went badly. We just have to train and prepare better for the next game."

Despite the FC Porto star's heroics, his Portugal side fell to a first-leg defeat thanks to Rasmus Hojlund's second-half winner. They will hope to overturn this deficit and reach the semi-finals of the Nations League over the weekend.
