The concept of a one-man team has been a dominant theme of Euro 2016. Gareth Bale and Wales. Marek Hamsik and Slovakia. Not forgetting, of course, the old faithful, the original: Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. So what if we’ve reached a point where Portugal have at last found a way to be more than that?

Germany head coach Joachim Low knew before the penultimate round-of-16 match on Monday evening that he’d face a nemesis of sorts in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

The only time his men didn’t face either Spain or Italy was in 2014 and, promptly, they finally hoisted another...
