The Real Madrid striker canceled out Ronaldo's penalty with his own spot-kick won by Kylian Mbappe just before half time.

And after the Juventus forward was awarded another penalty, it was clear that he was hardly going to miss form nine-yards out.

Ronaldo approached the corner flank to celebrate as French fans who were seated around that area throw bottles at the Portuguese star who did not bother.

The match ended in a stalemate but France topped the group-of-death as Germany had a superior goal-difference over Portugal finished in second place.

Ronaldo is the competition's topscorer with five goals and the all-time highest with 14 as well as the joint-top at international level with 109.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo's brace helped Portugal earn a 2-2 draw against France as the 36-year-old became the first player to reach 20 goals in World Cup and European tournaments combined, Marca.

It was CR7's fifth goal of the competition after the first three matches and has equaled the number of international goals scored by Iran's Ali Daei.

Any more goal recorded by Ronaldo in Euro 2020 will make him the highest goalscorer at international level.

Portugal will take on Group B winners Belgium who won all their three matches with both teams having the highest scorers in the tournament, Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku.
