Gareth Bale hailed Real Madrid colleague Cristiano Ronaldo as a "natural goalscorer" after he netted in Portugal's 2-0 Euro 2016 semi-final win over Wales.
The showdown between the two Madrid heavyweights dominated the pre-match headlines and it was Ronaldo who shone brightest.
His powerful 50th-minute header saw him equal Michel Platini's record of nine European Championship goals, with Ronaldo then turning provider – albeit perhaps inadvertently – for Nani's goal three minutes later.
And Bale told ITV of his club-mate: "Obviously he's a natural goalscorer and he scored yet again.
"But as I said it's not about them, it's about us. We'll pick ourselves up. We're a proud bunch. We have to be proud of what we've achieved in this tournament.
