Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history and all this without leading star Cristiano Ronaldo. A super strike by substitute Edér was the difference between the two teams, who both hit the hit woodwork during the match. "They managed to achieve without Cristiano Ronaldo, proving to other teams that one or two great players do not win a trophy, but that a proud, inspired team, with a nation behind it, is what it takes to win the most coveted trophy in European football."
Welsh striker Gareth Bale said that his team was ready to 'make history', speaking at a press conference in Denard on Monday, ahead of the team's Euro 2016 semi-final against Portugal.
