Cristiano Ronaldo blocked by Lucas Hernandez as fans applaud Bayern star's defending

World champions France drew 0-0 at home to European champions Portugal in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday. A hopeful attempt by Antoine Griezmann from the tightest of angles was saved by Rui Patricio, while Cristiano Ronaldo saw his attempt blocked by Lucas Hernandez, who produced an excellent sliding block.

Lucas Hernandez was found winning the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo and blocking a clear shot from the Juventus ace in a span of 10 seconds and this sensational display sent Twitter into a meltdown. Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez made defending one-on-one against Ronaldo look like a piece of cake and then produced a fantastic block to stop the Juve superstar from scoring. 

The goalless draw means that Portugal top Group A3 with the same amount of points as France, but with a superior goal difference while also comfortably clear of Croatia and Sweden.
