    THE final four group games of Euro 2016 will be played on Wednesday night, but it is the fixture at the Stade des Lumieres in Lyon that will undoubtedly capture most of the football world's attention.

    The new 59,186-seater stadium is the venue for Portugal's must-win clash against their group's surprise leaders, Hungary. It's also where Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's headline act, will hope to break his scoring duck and send his country to the Round of 16.

    Time is fast running out for the 31-year-old striker, guilty of missing chance after chance in the first two matches, to stamp his mark in France.
