The Portuguese captain may not have gotten off to the best pre-match publicity. With the mic-throwing incident flooding the headlines but during the match, Ronaldo answered his critics in style.

Two goals against Hungary and Ronaldo suddenly looks rejuvenated. In the 3-3 draw, the attack was menacing in the most exciting group stage match of Euro 2016. Nani and Ronaldo will be the most likely scorers if Portugal are to find the net against Croatia.

The Portuguese team will be looking to provide Ronaldo with enough chances to bag a few more goals in the tournament and with Ricardo Quaresma struggling in the last game, it looks likely that Renato Sanches could start and provide Portugal with the cutting edge in midfield.
