Renato Sanches breaks TWO records at Euro 2016... including one of Ronaldo's!

The Portugal sensation was named in the starting XI for the Euro 2016 quarter-final meeting with Poland and has made history, both with his appearance and first-half goal
Renato Sanches has broken two European Championship records having started and then scored in the quarter-final clash with Poland on Thursday.
The Bayern Munich midfielder, who only recently completed a big-money switch to the Bundesliga champions from Benfica, was handed his first for Portugal and the 18-year-old certainly didn't disappoint.

In featuring in the XI to face Adam Nawalka's men, Sanches broke Cristiano Ronaldo's record as the youngest player to start for Portugal at a major tournament
And not only that, his equalising goal, with Robert Lewandowski having earlier given Poland the lead, means he is also the youngest ever scorer in a knockout game at any European Championship.
Not bad for an 18-year-old!
