Football Paper Round: Cristiano Ronaldo gets one over Lionel Messi and Andy Murray becomes a British great

Murray's at the double and joins the game's greats
Andy Murray dominates the front and back pages of Monday's national papers, with the Telegraph saying that Murray's second Wimbledon title has cemented his place among the nation's all-time great athletes.

The Guardian agrees, saying that Murray's performances over the Wimbledon fortnight suggest that he should be mentioned in the same breath as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
And The Times go one step further, issuing a Murray wraparound front page, highlighting the Scot's intentions to celebrate his triumph in style. 

Ronaldo receives reward for decade of dominance
Cristiano Ronaldo may have been in tears when he was stretchered off in the first half of Sunday's final, but Portugal's glory means he has got one over Lionel Messi - says the Sun. Messi missed a penalty in his losing international final appearance earlier in the summer, leading to a premature retirement, but Ronaldo has shown Messi how it's done with a brilliant display of leadership - both on the pitch and from the sidelines.
Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph is a fitting reward for Cristiano Ronaldo's stellar international career


Head rules Hart at Pep's Man City
Pep Guardiola is confident of signing Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to compete with Joe Hart for the Manchester City No. 1 jersey, reports the Manchester Evening News. The new City boss is a known admirer of the Barca stopper, whose distribution skills suit the manager's style of play far better than those of Hart will. Barca were initially reluctant to sell, but have lined up Pepe Reina as cover and are happy to listen to offers over £15m.
