IT’S OVER! Portugal have beaten France 1-0 and are the champions of Europe! Such contrasting emotions from the two sides. Tears from both, but for many different reasons. Cristiano Ronaldo’s sadness has turned to joy, while many of the France players look inconsolable as they sit dejected on the turf.
Pepe, having given so much during the 120 minutes, appears to throw up on the pitch, but is quickly back with his team-mates to continue the celebrations.
What an evening it’s been. Both sides hit the post… there was drama early on as Cristiano Ronaldo was taken off on a stretcher, but he returned to his feet later on to cheer his team to victory and lift the trophy.
It’s been an intriguing, brilliant night… especially if you’re of Portuguese persuasion.
I’ll leave you with the money shot… Cristiano Ronaldo lifts the trophy, Portugal are European champions.
Thanks for following the blog, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
