And Wales now know who they will face in the last 16. Denmark’s victory over Russia on Monday ensured that they would finish second in their group.

Tottenham fans probably needed little reminding of how good Rodon can be. But his performances at Euro 2020 may still be providing an exciting glimpse of what the future could look like for the centre-back.
