Ronaldo cried after he was injured in the 2016 Euro Cup final.
Portugal made it to the final of the European Championships in 2016. They faced France at the Stade de France for the last match of the competition and it was important to note that Cristiano Ronaldo had been really influential in the Portugal squad, firing the National team to the final of an international competition for the first time in more than a decade.

The trophy was very important to the Real Madrid icon because it represented his golden chance to lay hands on a major trophy with his country.
However, the bad news came up after he was forced out of the match after just 25 minutes of play due to an injury. The captain could not bear the pain and later gave up to tears as he watched the match from the sidelines.
He was, though, lucky that the result favored him in the end, Eder firing home a belter to hand Portugal the win and allowing the superstar to claim the trophy.
