As the teams awaited to step on the Stade de Lyon pitch, the French feeling the weight of a nation, Robbie Brady and Paul Pogba enjoyed a little moment.
Brady was one of the stars of the tournament from an Irish perspective. Pogba - one of the most coveted midfielders in Europe - has, at times during this tournament, looked like one of the best players in world.
Six years ago, the two were teammates - at Old Trafford.
Both would eventually move on, Pogba to Juventus in 2012 and Brady to Hull a year later.
This afternoon, just minutes before kick-off, the two rekindled their friendship.
