There is always a certain charm in seeing players used to playing on the same side clash occasionally (and vice versa). The Euro, like international meetings as a whole, offers this possibility.
Take Adrien Rabiot: the French will meet Cristiano Ronaldo, his illustrious teammate at Juve, in the last match of the group stage against Portugal. And in the absence of room, the two men discussed the upcoming competition, as the Duke confessed at a press conference in Clairefontaine.
Lemar watched Spain-Portugal
“After the last match, at the club, we had discussed the Euro a bit with Cristiano. He said that we had a very strong and solid team but he said to me: ‘take care of us, anyway’. ‘ I think this is a date he is looking forward to. “
Thomas Lemar, also in front of the press before training at 5.30 p.m., did not hear from his friend João Félix after the friendly Spain-Portugal the day before, but the Atlético player took care to watch the match: “It was pretty tight. We can see that regardless of the teams, it will be very hotly contested matches. “
