Euro 2016: Portugal crowned champions after Cristiano Ronaldo goes off injured

Posted by admin | 8 years ago | 2,851 times



Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history -- and all this without their leading star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Real Madrid forward had been forced out of the game with a knee injury in the first half, but Portugal regrouped and thanks to some heroic goalkeeping from Rui Patricio took the game into extra time before Eder struck with 11 minutes to go.
Portugal's 1-0 win was all the more remarkable given in their previous 10 meetings, France had won all of them.
