Cristiano Ronaldo 's Portugal atEuro 2020 . - The wing-back scored one and assisted two as Germany won 4-2.
- Gosens was once left feeling "ashamed" after Ronaldo snubbed him for a post-match jersey exchange.
Robin Gosens was left feeling "blushed and ashamed" after he was snubbed by Cristiano Ronaldo following a Coppa Italia game between Atalanta and Juventus in 2019.
On Saturday at Euro 2020, however, the wing-back got his revenge as he put in a Man of the Match performance to help Germany beat Portugal 4-2.
Gosens assisted two and scored another as Joachim Low's side thumped the reigning European champion at the Allianz Arena.
Ronaldo opened the scoring on the day after 15 minutes when he tapped in from close range, before Ruben Dias deflected Gosens' cross into his own net to level the scores.
Portugal then scored another own-goal shortly after through Raphael Guerreiro to hand Germany the lead.
Six minutes into the second half, Gosens teed up Kai Havertz with another low cross to make it 3-1, before the Atalanta star got himself on the score sheet with a composed header.
Portugal pulled one back after Ronaldo set up Diogo Jota for his first ever European champions goal, however it couldn't find a way back into the match as Germany set up to defend.
The win for Germany was its first of the tournament after having lost to France in its opening game on Tuesday.

After the match, Gosens said he chose not to ask Ronaldo for his shirt again.
"I didn't ask him for his shirt as I want to enjoy the victory and this evening," he told Sky
He added on the match: "It is certainly an unforgettable night for me. We beat a truly strong team and I got my first goal in this tournament, as well as an assist. I am happy and proud.
"We knew that we'd have to win today, because if we lost here then it'd become really difficult to qualify. We tried to give everything both in attack and defence.
"I'm happy we won the match."
