• Classifications: so are the groups

It has long since stopped being news to see Cristiano Ronaldo celebrate a handful of goals in each match. However, this course has started gray for the five-time Golden Ball, especially in Juventus. Despite the criticism he is receiving in his club, where Maurizio Sarri has replaced him in the last two games, the Portuguese feels freed with his team, where everything he touches turns him into gold.

Before Lithuania, with a defense, yes, very poor, Cristiano needed just 20 minutes to throw two goals in his backpack. His hat-trick arrived in the second act. He opened his account from the penalty spot, continued with a direct shot to the squad from the front and completed the triplet with a top shot. Pizzi, Paciencia and Bernardo Silva closed a placid night for Portugal (6-0).

The triumph of Serbia (3-2 against Luxembourg), means that Fernando Santos' team still does not have the guaranteed ticket for next summer's tournament. If on Sunday he defeats Luxembourg - more than predictable - Portugal will join the other teams that have already reserved a place: Belgium, Ukraine, Italy, Russia, Poland and Spain.

The first team that sealed their qualification for the European Championship on Thursday night was England, which had no mercy on weak Montenegro (7-0) thanks to a masterful Harry Kane . The Tottenham striker signed a hat-trick in just 35 minutes. And he was not the only one of the night, although, in this case, not goals but assists. Chilwell , left-back Leicester City, signed three goal passes. Chamberlain, Rashford, Abraham and Sofranac at the door confirmed the nightmare of Montenegro.

Suffer France

France suffered much more, although it started its already classified match after Turkey's previous draw (which will also be in the Euro). The world champion sweated the beauty to overcome Moldova. An erratic double clearance of Lenglet in his own area gave the goal to Vadim Rata in the 8th minute. It was not until the edge of the break when the French team equaled the score with a header from Varane .

The combined of Deschamps regained the leadership of Group H, owned, until Thursday, of Turkey (both already classified). Neither Mbappé nor Griezmann - another shy Barça attacker's match - knocked down the Moldovan wall, until Digne was knocked down in the area and Giroud sealed the victory with maximum penalty.

Czech Republic (2-1 against Kosovo) also booked a ticket for a Eurocup that is slowly taking shape.
