PARIS, France, July 9- With France’s baby-faced poster boy Antoine Griezmann going up against preening Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, the Euro 2016 final will feature a duel between two very different number sevens. “Euro 2004 was special — I was just 19 and it was my first tournament,” Ronaldo said after scoring a magnificent header in Portugal’s 2-0 semi-final win over Wales. He appeared close to tears again six weeks ago following Atletico Madrid’s Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid, in which he blasted a second-half penalty against the bar. Like Griezmann, Ronaldo made a slow start to the tournament. Griezmann, 25, is the tournament’s top scorer and is bidding to deliver success for the home nation in his first major international final.
