PIC: This man has expertly tricked his girlfriend into watching Wales v Portugal

Paul Moore

Well played.

You could combine The Shawshank Redemption, Taxi Driver and The Godfather into some weird cinematic cocktail and it would still not come close to the drama that’s about to unfold at Euro 2016 as the tournament reaches the semi-final stage.

A place in the final is on the line as Wales meet Portugal in Lyon and while any player could end up being the hero, in the eyes of many football fans, this match will be settled by two men.

We’re hoping that there’s going to be a Hollywood-esque showdown of Galactico proportions between Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. There’s no denying that both Real Madrid players are absolute box-office stars but there’s only room for one of them in the showpiece event.

No football fan would miss the game but this man had to write the perfect script for his girlfriend in order to see the match. We hope that they both enjoy the match because it could be better than any movie.
