      Pepe FUMES at Rui Patricio after he ignored veteran and Cristiano Ronaldo telling him Karim Benzema would go left

      by

      PORTUGAL defender Pepe was left raging after his keeper Rui Patricio refused to listen when he told him where Karim Benzema was going to place his penalty.The French striker, who was a long-time team-mate of both Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, tucked his penalty away into the bottom left corner.

      But that was before Pepe could be seen gesticulating to Patricio from behind Benzema’s back, telling him to dive in the exact spot where the forward ended up putting the ball.
      Ronaldo could also be seen speaking with his keeper before Benzema stepped up.
      Yet the 33-year-old shot-stopper refused to take the advice of his fellow countryman and went on to dive the wrong way.
      Benzema’s spot kick was the second of three penalties on the night as Ronaldo dispatched two for Portugal to take his tally at Euro 2020 to five goals.
      France conceded the first pen after Spurs captain Hugo Lloris caught Danilo Pereira in the head attempting to clear the ball from a corner.
      And speaking at halftime, BBC pundits Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand both felt it was a stonewall spot-kick.
      Shearer said: “I think it’s a pen. Lloris has mistimed coming out and whacked him in the face”, while Rio added: “That’s GBH”.
      Manchester United icon Ferdinand then agreed with his former teammate Frank Lampard that ‘keepers have been given leeway for years’.

      Pepe shouted at Patricio for not listening to him after Benzema scored the penalty
      Ferdinand said: “Goalkeepers are a protected species aren’t they. It was dangerous, reckless and I’m pleased it was given.”
      However, the 42-year-old couldn’t say the same for France’s penalty after Nelson Semedo was penalised for body checking Kylian Mbappe.
      Karim Benzema stepped up to convert but asked for his thoughts, Ferdinand added: “This is a terrible decision.
      “I don’t think there’s any doubt in any of our minds. It’s good defending from Semedo, I’ve been critical of him. That’s not a penalty for me.”
      Referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz – who officiated the Champions League final – ultimately gave a third penalty after the break.
      Jules Kounde was adjudged to have handled the ball and Ronaldo bagged his second of the night to rescue a 2-2 draw with France.
      The clash was the first time in Euros history that three penalties had been awarded in one game.

      The teenager partied through the match at the 4TheFans Manchester Fan Park on Tuesday night (22/6).
      Now the Level 7 children’s referee believes the Three Lions can go all the way after their rousing 1-0 win at Wembley.
      Jess, of central Manchester, said: “I think we can go do it this time. The talent we have in this team is world class and we can beat anyone on their day.
      “The first two games really didn’t look promising but the last one Southgate changed the team up and it has totally transformed them. He made good use of the subs and with Maguire and Grealish everything looks really promising.
      “I think we’ll probably face Portugal next, which is intimidating, but to be the best you’ve got to beat the best.”
      West Brom fan Jess, originally from Alsager, Cheshire, has played footballer since she was a kid and got her reffing qualifications two years ago. She is an official for academy games and has looked after big matches for Stoke City and Crewe under-14s.

      Jess, now studying to become an engineer in Manchester, said: “My dad’s big into football but never played, and my younger brother plays but none of my girl mates do.
      “I just love it. Sam Johnstone is my favourite player for the baggies and I like John Stones for England – I think he’s been very unlucky not to score and has put in some really good shifts.
      “I do like Grealish too, despite the fact he’s Villa’s main man.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo has Coca-Cola bottle thrown at him before Euro 2020 stewards protect Portugal star from pitch invader

      In another incident Cristiano Ronaldo was hit by cups as he celebrated completing his penalty double and setting new goal records
      And Budapest security staff later intervened after a supporter came on – while Ron stayed alert as he spotted a bottle hurtling towards him.
      It comes a week after the Juventus legend removed two Coca-Cola bottles from a press conference table to spark a row over sponsorship.
      Ronaldo urged the watching world to “drink water!”
      But after France’s Paul Pogba followed suit, by taking a Heineken bottle off a table, Uefa warned teams not to block sponsors’ products.
      Ronaldo rubbed his back after appearing to be hit by cups, following a spot-kick that completed the scoring amid a gripping Group F finale. 
      The former Real Madrid and Manchester United frontman had extra reasons to rejoice at scoring that second goal.
      It took him past Miroslav Klose’s record for major tournaments of 19 goals.

      And it levelled him up with Iran’s Ali Daei on 109 goals at the top of the list for all-time top international scorers.
      But Ron had to cut short his customary pirouette goal celebration due to the cups landing on him. 
      He then angrily turned to face the fans before carrying on his rejoicing – just one of many dramatic scenes in a compelling finale to Group F.

      Northern Ireland were the lowest ranked third placed team to qualify at the last Euros.
      They finished on three points with two goals scored and conceded and a goal difference of zero.

      ABSOLUTELY ROB’D
      Robert Lewandowksi somehow spurned a golden opportunity for Poland in their Euro 2020 decider against Sweden.
      The Bayern Munich star came agonisingly close to levelling the score as his side trailed 1-0.
      A corner from the right was met by the 32-year-old’s downward header, which pinged off the frame of the goal.
      But the ball bounced back straight towards Lewandowski for what appeared to be a tap in.
      Amazingly, he got a bit too underneath the second header and once again planted his effort against the crossbar.

      CASE FOR DEFENCE
      Man Utd captain Harry Maguire has defended England’s defensive march to the Euro 2020 knockout stage – claiming they are playing the football needed to win tournaments.
      Maguire said: “I know everyone wants to play well and create numerous chances but teams are well drilled and organised.
      “It’s not all perfect, we can improve but you can’t argue with seven points from three games.
      “Can we play better? Of course we can. Will we improve? We will do everything we can to improve.
      “The fundamentals are there and now we’ve got to tidy up in every part of our game when we’re on the ball and there is a little bit more we can get out of each other and push each other.

      “We desperately wanted to make even more history but we didn’t quite get there and it hurts.
      “Seeing the entire country not only following what we’ve done and supporting us but lifting us every step of the way made a big difference.
      “From the incredible support of the Tartan Army to the kids in the street wearing Scotland shirts,we’ve felt your love and been inspired by it.
      “To captain this country and these boys means the world to me and the feeling I’ve had leading them out in a tournament is impossible to describe!
      “What matters now is that we do all that we can to ensure that this is the start of a wonderful journey rather than the end.
      “We want more. We want to qualify for more tournaments and we want to make the people of this magnificent country even prouder!

      And he came up against midfield partner Declan Rice.
      He said (quotes via RMC Sport): “We play to win every game, but we didn’t start well. 
      “England were dominant at the start, then we chatted in the locker room and the second half was much better.
      “But we weren’t clear enough around the opponent’s area. We could have created more chances. But it’s good preparation for the next game. 
      “We created some good situations for ourselves but we couldn’t do the job to finish.
      “I think England are favourites to win the tournament. They showed their quality. We wanted to finish. first in the group, beat England, but we didn’t.”

      And midfield dynamo Sergio Busquets could be set to make a much-needed return after missing Spain’s first two games due to a positive Covid-19 test. 
      The Barcelona stalwart’s return could see Rodri drop to the bench after the player received a yellow card against Poland.

      Leon Goretzka’s late goal that kept the Germans in the tournament!

      90+1′ Great credit to Hungary when you see a side like Germany having to run down the clock to win!

      Really dramatic stuff here in Munich.
      Hungary now in a block of six with four in front of them.
      That means Germany are tossing balls aimlessly into the box.
      The latest one looking for Goretzka but it’s straight through to Gulacsi who holds on well.

      OFF – Roland Sallai
