The Portuguese ace scored the opening goal for Portugal and handed Nani an assist to lead the way for Fernando Santos' crew againts Bale's Welsh side.

Today's game between Wales and Portugal didn't just help to sort out which team was going to make it to the UEFA Euro Final. Once the final whistle was blown, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale helped dismiss any claims of a bad relationship between them, once the Portuguese ace interrupted his celebrations to comfort the Welsh superstar.

Ronaldo's performance was crucial for Portugal, having scored a goal and setting up Nani's 2-0 finish with a shot from outside the box. On the other hand, Bale tried hard, but wasn't able to lead Wales to their first-ever final match in a major tournament.

Both Real Madrid aces had a word for about 30 seconds. Then, both walked away after a brotherly embrace.
