#2 Portugal's UEFA Euro victory

Portugal v France - Final: UEFA Euro 2016
Underdogs Portugal beat favourites France in extra-time to lift the UEFA Euro 2016 trophy

The failure in 2004, when Portugal lost against Greece in Portugal, was termed as one of the biggest shocks in the history of football.

Upsetting all the odds, Portugal reached the 2016 Euro Final against France in France. Ronaldo got injured after a harsh tackle by Dimitri Payet on him in the first half and the captain had to be substituted.

As Eder scored the most important goal in the history of Portugal, Ronaldo's dream of winning silverware with his country came alive. The emotions in him could not take a back seat, as he watched the game from the bench helping and motivating his team.
