Euro 2012 Highlights Match of the Day 17th June 2012

Colin Murray introduces highlights from the day's two Euro 2012 games, which see Portugal play the Netherlands and Denmark face Germany in the final round of Group B matches.

Holland's Robin van Persie netted 37 goals for Arsenal this season, with Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo bagging a remarkable 60 for Real Madrid.
