The concept of a one-man team has been a dominant theme of Euro 2016. Gareth Bale and Wales. Marek Hamsik and Slovakia. Not forgetting, of course, the old faithful, the original: Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. So what if we’ve reached a point where Portugal have at last found a way to be more than that?
While there was much to forget about the last-16 tie against Croatia (and from an aesthetic point of view, it was as bad as it’s got in this tournament), one statistic stood out as one picked over the bones afterwards.
