Portugal on Sunday, July 10 lifted the Euro 2016 title after an extra-time goal by Eder against host, France.

Cristiano Ronaldo only lasted less than 30 minutes in the game before he was stretched off as a result of an injury suffered after colliding with France forward, Dimitri Payet.

Ronaldo was however fully involved as him and his teammates flew back to Portugal on Monday, July 11.

The players first paraded the trophy at the front of their hotel in Paris before boarding a plane back home to continue the celebration.
