Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portugal team continue to mesmerize on and off the field this Euro. Having outclassed Turkey with a 3-0 scoreline, Ronaldo’s side stylishly cruised into the European competition’s knockout stages last night. Elsewhere, Brazil star Neymar‘s ex-girlfriend Bruna Biancardi is jumping with joy, thanks to Portugal.
