      Portuguese and Hungarian fans were seen warming up on the streets of Lyon, Wednesday, ahead of the crucial clash between their respective national teams, Portugal and Hungary, at the Stade de Lyon.

      Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be in the focus of both sets of fans, with Hungarian fans expressing that they wished he cried after the match, and with Portuguese fans defending him for the incident on Wednesday morning, when he threw a reporter's microphone into a lake during a morning team stroll.

      With kick-off scheduled at 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT), Portugal will meet Hungary in the final group game of Group F at the Stade de Lyon, Wednesday, in what is considered to be a make-or-break clash for both teams. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal must win against the group leader Hungary, in order to qualify for the knockout phase of the Euro 2016.
