Euro 2016 final goes into extra-time

    Host nation France and Portugal were goalless at half-time of the Euro 2016 final on Sunday after Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was forced off injured in tears just 25 minutes into the match.

The Real Madrid forward had attempted to play on with a heavily bandaged knee after hurting his left knee in a heavy challenge from France’s Dimitri Payet.


But after one acceleration midway through the first half Ronaldo signalled to the bench that he could not carry on and could not hide his despair as he was replaced by Ricardo Quaresma.

Even before Ronaldo departed, France had the majority of possession and almost took the lead with a header from Antoine Griezmann that Rui Patricio brilliantly pushed away.

Moussa Sissoko blasted over the crossbar in France’s other main chance of the half
