Ronaldo & Mbappe can both decide matches on their own, says France head coach Deschamps

France head coach Didier Deschamps has said both Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe can decide matches on their own ahead of his side's UEFA Nations League match against Portugal on Sunday.

The two sides will meet at Stade de France in a rematch of the Euro 2016 final, which Portugal won 1-0 thanks to an extra-time goal from substitute Eder.

Much of the focus in this year's contest will be on star figures Mbappe and Ronaldo, who are set to lead France and Portugal respectively on Sunday.

Ronaldo, 35, has won the Ballon d'Or on five occasions and is generally considered one of the greatest players ever while Mbappe, 21, is well on his way to achieving a similar stature, having already won a World Cup among a host of other team and individual honours.
