  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Ronaldo's legs were being massaged by two physios ahead of extra-time in their Euro 2024 quarter-final clash against France which saw Portugal crash out with a penalty shootout defeat. Lineker seemingly saw an opportunity for the rather inappropriate joke and jumped on it.

  WHAT LINEKER SAID

  Ex-England defender Rio Ferdinand couldn't help but comment on the two masseurs, saying: "He has two masseuses on his legs there! What's going on there? One on each leg."

  To which Lineker replied: "Thankfully, he hasn't got three."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ronaldo remained on the pitch for the full 120 minutes as Portugal played out a goalless draw with Les Bleus. The Selecao star then stepped up to score his penalty in the subsequent shootout, but team-mate Joao Felix hit the post with his effort while France scored all five of theirs, sending France through and Portugal out.
