The Real Madrid youngster's performance against Macedonia was poetry in motion, and the prospect of watching him in the rest of the tournament is mouth-watering.

Cristiano hasn't opened his mouth officially, but it's clear: he's let the whole world know that he wishes to leave Spain. And, with it, Real Madrid.

What a start to the Under-21 Euros for Spain! An opening match we feared as a potential banana skin ended up in a thumping victory.
