On July 10, all football fans were watching the Euro 2016 Final, that took place in France. Two strong rivals were fighting nail and tooth for the main prize: France, who welcomed the championship, and Portugal. No secret, that France was expected to gain the victory, as it's always more relaxing to play in the native country, plus they had the title of the European champions in 1984, and in 2000. The national football team of Portugal has never been the gold medal winner in all history of the European Football Championships.

The win is also so important due to the non less significant fact – the forward of the Portuguese national football team, and the main hope of the country - Christiano Ronaldo - had a knee injury during the 20th minute of the first half, thus he was unable to continue playing. Suggestively, this event induced the team to struggle with all the power right until the victorious end. After the football game, triumphators mentioned they had done their best in order to shoot a goal honoring Christiano Ronaldo.

The first and, in fact, the only goal of the final Euro 2016 match was scored by a footballer from Portugal Eder in the 109th minute of the game. He commented that it was Christiano Ronaldo who had told him he would be the one to score the winning goal.
