"Stade de France" stadium last night ended one of the most important sports events of this summer - the 2016 European Football Championship. After a fierce battle after the group stage, the Portuguese footballers became champions of the Old Continent for the first time in the country's history. Portugal fought against the tournament hosts, the French, who were considered favorites in the final. The Portuguese, even without their captain Cristiano Ronaldo, managed to achieve the most important victory in the history of the country after extra time and an impressive goal by Eder. More than a captain you're a champion! Thanks for the gift! Let's go Portugal we are the Champions! @uefaeuro #euro2016⚽️ #champions @cristiano After the final whistle, the winners of personal trophies were revealed. The most productive player with six goals was Antoine Griezmann of the French national team. He surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, who had three goals and assists. The bronze boot also went to Olivier Giroud, who scored three goals as well. Interesting fact, Portugal's captain C. Ronaldo passed his silver boot to his teammate Nani after the triumph, who also scored three goals but with fewer assists. There were no surprises in the selection of the best player of the tournament. Antoine Griezmann, who scored six goals, was recognized as the best player of these championships. The best young player was the Portuguese football talent Renato Sanchez. Playing in several matches in the championship, R. Sanchez contributed to the Portuguese triumph not only with successful play in the midfield but also with a goal in the quarterfinals. While the author of the most beautiful goal has not been revealed yet, it is almost certain that the prize will go to Switzerland's team member Xherdan Shaqiri, who scored a wonderful goal against the Polish national team.
