WHAT LINEKER SAID
Ex-England defender Rio Ferdinand couldn't help but comment on the two masseurs, saying: "He has two masseuses on his legs there! What's going on there? One on each leg."
To which Lineker replied: "Thankfully, he hasn't got three."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ronaldo remained on the pitch for the full 120 minutes as Portugal played out a goalless draw with Les Bleus. The Selecao star then stepped up to score his penalty in the subsequent shootout, but team-mate Joao Felix hit the post with his effort while France scored all five of theirs, sending France through and Portugal out.
