Portugal vs France: the recent form of both teams

The group of death has lived up to its expectations and the defending champs are finding a hard time coping up. Despite, achieving a record-breaking feat from Ronaldo against Hungary, Portugal fell victim to a devastating 2-4 defeat against the Germans. Two own goals in the space of four minutes from Ruben Dias and Raphael Guerreiro bottled their single goal lead before halftime. A goal and an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't enough to see Portugal off the line.
