Hungary vs Portugal

Portugal defeated a stubborn Hungary 3-0 in Budapest. Two of the goals scored against Hungary came from Ronaldo's golden boot according to the Mirror.

What Ronaldo said going into the competition

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Cristiano Ronaldo assured Portugal fans that he will approach Euro 2020 with the same motivation which he played in the 2004 edition.

The 36-year-old is heading to his fifth continental championship with his national team and will hope to help them defend the title they won five years ago successfully this summer.

Ronaldo was 19 when he made his debut in the competition and 17 years later, he is stronger than ever and will be one of the stars to watch out for in the one-month football events.

"I'm as motivated, or more, than I was back in 2004. The Portuguese fans can expect the same as always, a team with motivation and ambition. We'll have a positive mentality that things will go well. The team and all Portuguese fans must believe things will go well.
"The captain is good. I've been working well alongside my teammates and the coaching staff. We're focused on working well.
"I hope things go as well as possible, now that the preparation work is done. We just need to fine-tune a few things. Now the ball just needs to start rolling. We want Portugal to start well, with a win against Hungary," Ronaldo said.
