16 things we loved this weekend: Shaqiri, Ronaldo, Brereton and more

The group stage of Euro 2020 is drawing to a close, and on Saturday the phase of three games in a day went out in style with a six-goal thriller between Germany and Portugal.

There was also plenty of entertainment to be found in the Copa America, and while England’s goalless clash with Scotland at Wembley on Friday night didn’t quite live up to the hype, it proved a hard-fought and competitive match.

Here’s our round-up of the best action from the weekend.

Stephen O’Donnell

A superb twist on the dark arts.

Billy Gilmour

Man of the match on his full FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League and international debuts. Some player.

"Honestly, I can't put it into words. My family's in the crowd. The fans haven't stopped singing all night… it's unbelievable!"

When you've just bossed your full international debut 🤩

Rudiger should have retired immediately after this.
