EURO 2016 CHAMPIONS: Portugal! They only won one game in regulation time (Wales in the semis), three other games needing extra time, one needing penalties. But they scored when it mattered. And now they can call themselves the champions of Europe.
The country's last major soccer conquest was in 2006, when Portugal finished fourth in the World Cup.
"The victory for the national side is recognition of the value of Portuguese soccer and gives prestige to our country," said the Portuguese Football Association in a statement.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo lifted the Henri Delaunay trophy after the team's 1-0 win over France in the Euro 2016 final.
