France Legend Patrice Evra: Portugal initiated their campaign in Euro 2024 with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Czechia, courtesy of Francisco Conceiçao capitalising on a defensive error to score the winner in the 92nd minute. Veteran Pepe created history, becoming the oldest player ever to feature in a tournament, aged 41 years and 113 days.

Amidst an all-rounded performance from the Portuguese side, France Legend Patrice Evra commented on Portuguese talisman Cristiano Ronaldo's performance.

"Cristiano Ronaldo had a good game and was seen everywhere in the attack. He was helping his team-mates with some passing and made great movements in the box to create an opening for his side. This is the kind of impact he brings to the Portuguese side. Many debates about his position in the starting eleven, benching him risks losing a proven goal-scoring presence on the field," said Evra on Sony Sports Network.
