Griezmann leaves Golden Boot rivals trailing in his wake

Antoine Griezmann has established a three-goal cushion at the top of the adidas Golden Boot standings after hitting his fifth and sixth goals of the tournament as France beat Germany 2-0 to reach Sunday's final.

The Atlético Madrid forward, who missed a penalty in May's UEFA Champions League final, converted from the spot on the stroke of half-time in Marseille. Midway through Thursday's second period he then poked in a second, his sixth of UEFA EURO 2016. Only one man, nine-goal Michel Platini in 1984, has registered more at a single finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in his fourth EURO, equalled Platini's overall record on Wednesday as Portugal booked their place in the Saint-Denis showpiece. Ronaldo heads a group of six players on three goals, including team-mate Nani and two of Griezmann's France colleagues, Olivier Giroud and Dimitri Payet.

All of them are likely to be involved on Sunday but it will take a hat-trick – the first at a EURO since David Villa in 2008 – to deny Griezmann the adidas Golden Boot.
