Milan star Rafael Leao finally got to show some of what he can do at EURO 2024 with a sensational back-heel nutmeg on Jules Koundé during Portugal-France.

The Round of 16 tie sees two of the pre-tournament favourites go head-to-head, though both teams have so far struggled to impress.

Leao turned on the style in the first half, causing Koundé all sorts of problems down the left flank.

The Milan hero famously plays at his best with a literal smile on his face and that was evident when he nutmegged Koundé with a cheeky back-heel flick.

There were plenty of other moments too where he had a big grin on his face as he sprinted at the France international.
