The Portuguese football team led by Cristiano Ronaldo return home to a heroes' welcome after their upset triumph over France in the Euro 2016 final. IMAGES
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."
Despite losing the final of Euro 2016 to Portugal, the Eiffel Tower has been lit up in red, white and blue in honour of France's football team. IMAGES of Eiffel Tower at the end of match.
