Cristiano
Ronaldo found himself upstaged by Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema
and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba on Saturday night as
France beat Portugal 2-1 in their international friendly.
Ronaldo,
sitting on the bench with an ice pack on his left knee after being
substituted on 76 minutes, could do little to turn Portugal's fortunes
around at the Stade de France after the hosts took a third-minute lead
through Benzema before Pogba doubled their advantage in the second half.
Portugal
substitute Ricardo Quaresma set up a tense finale by slotting home a
penalty for the visitors, but France held on to their slender
advantage.
