France star Dimitri Payet has insisted that he did not go out to hurt Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo during Sunday's Euro 2016 final.

Ronaldo was forced off in the 25th minute of Portugal's extra-time win over the hosts after being on the receiving end of a robust early challenge from Payet.

But West Ham playmaker Payet, 29, said after the game that he had nothing to apologise for with regard to his eighth-minute tackle on Real Madrid forward Ronaldo.
