Fan theories explain Cristiano Ronaldo’s selfless assist for Bruno Fernandes in Portugal’s 3-0 triumph over Turkey.

Bernardo Silva gave Portugal the lead at Signal Iduna Park before one of the tournament’s strangest own-goals increased their lead at halftime.

Ronaldo was one-on-one with Turkey’s goalkeeper in Germany and had a wonderful chance to score his first goal of the tournament.

Ronaldo sent the ball to Fernandes, who scored for his former Manchester United squad.

With seven assists in European Championship matches, Ronaldo surpassed Pavel Poborsky of Old Trafford.
