Payet, Ronaldo or Modric - Vote for the UEFA EURO 2016 Goal of the Group Stage

From the Frenchman's stunner to Cristiano's back-heel and Spain's tiki-taka, the opening round in France has already provided some magical moments

France star Dimitri Payet and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo have been named among the shortlist for the UEFA EURO 2016 Goal of the Group stage.

Payet’s stunning last-minute winner against Romania on opening night provided the glitz to a curtain opener that had looked set to end in disappointment for the hosts.

Cristiano is one of three Real Madrid players nominated, thanks to his wonderfully improvised back-heel after a fine Portugal move that ended with Nani’s low cross picking out his excellent near-post run.
