Cristiano Ronaldo reveals what he said to Gareth Bale after Portugal defeated Wales

It was the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Gareth Bale show in the Euro 2016 semi finals.

All eyes were on the two Real Madrid Galacticos as they faced off in the historic last four game between Portugal and Wales. Would they shake hands? Would they snub each other? Do they really hate each other? Who would come out on top? It was the 31-year-old Ronaldo who shone brightest in the game and it was his athleticism and genius that killed off the tie in three devastating minutes for Wales. He made an incredible leap to head home for the first and created the second with a penetrating ball/scuffed shot that Nani poked home. Game over. Cameras focussed in on the Madrid teammates after the game as Ronaldo embraced the devastated Bale. https://twitter.com/MSB_FootyVideos/status/750865819651809280 But now the Portuguese star has explained exactly what he said to the 26-year-old former Spurs man. "I congratulated them on their run," said Ronaldo, who looked to be having a deep and meaningful chat with the Welshman after the victory.

"They had an amazing run. They were the shining star here, the revelation team. "I wished them good luck and as for the rest I would rather not say."

Ronaldo, who picked up Man of the Match, was already looking forward to Sunday's Euro 2016 final at the Stade de France against the winner of France and Germany. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/750958673657233408 It's 12 years since he played in the final at Euro 2004 - but this time he thinks it will be a different story and believes, with maturity and experience on his side, Portugal can go on and win it. "This is different. I was 18, that was my first final. My debut. Now 12 years have gone by and now we are going to play another final. I am very proud of that. "I have always dreamed of winning for Portugal, I hope it is our turn now. "I am very confident and I believe that all these boys deserve it. I deserve it, Portugal deserves it, the fans deserve it - every single Portuguese person deserves it. They've been amazing supporters. "We've yet to win anything but it's the final. I don't think many people thought that Portugal would make it to the final, but we are there."
