Cristiano Ronaldo instructing french player where to pass the ball from soccer
Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo pointed where he wanted France’s Karim Benzema to pass the ball as the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in Budapest.
Both sides qualified for the Round of 16 at Euro 2020 following a share of the spoils in the Group F fixture at the Puskás Aréna.

The intensity evaporated from the game during its latter stages when it became clear that neither team needed to score in order to progress.
Former Real Madrid teammates Ronaldo and Benzema, who each scored twice on the day, were clearly happy to see each other and Ronaldo’s point may have been a joke.
