- The Portuguese national team has provided some incredible talent over the years. Eusebio, Figo, Rui Costa, and eventually Cristiano Ronaldo. However, until 2016 aa trophy had always alluded them, despite often reaching the later stages of the competition. In 2004, Portugal had perhaps their greatest ever generation while hosting the Euro's in their home country, losing in the to unlikely victors Greece. Twelve years later, in Euro 2016, Portugal would finally get their long awaited trophy. This time beating out hosts France in the final. This is their story....

There's not a single portuguese who watches this video without ending in tears, amazing!
1984, 2000, 2006. Heartbreaks, all of them.
I was paying attention to french media the whole time during the tournament. They spent the entire month slandering portugal and their style of play, even going as fat as calling them "disgusting". As if giroud sissokho matuidi and gignac were ballerinas on the ball. Brilliant stuff from portugal to shut them up and their arrogance!!!
Portugal always the little underdog but with hearts as big as the universe. Still shedding tears of joy when I see this video.
I watched this in a bar with more than a hundred people, everyone supporting France, with me and my friend supporting Portugal. When Eder scored and then the match ended, there was absolute silence apart from me and my friend screaming and jumping crazy :)))) it was so amazing
As a Portuguese I only have one word for this:
Eusebio was smiling down from heaven onto all of the Portuguese in 2016
I was very disappointed of the result this night (I'm French btw) but I, now more than ever, believe that this trophy was well deserved and this euro had to be for the Portuguese people. Such an hard-working, strong and proud nation. I mean, God couldn't allow Portugal not to win a trophy. Congrats
Como italiano tener a sorte de passar este lindissimo e historico momento diretamente a Lisboa, onde trabalhavo, encheia mim de felicidade e orgulho.
I remember watching this final, when we won it was easily one of if not the single best day of my life.
Portuguese bros, sorry for what we did in 2004. Glad for 2016! Deservingly so!
I'm not even Portuguese but I felt so patriotic while watching this video
FORÇA PORTUGAL 🇵🇹
This video was amazing. Brought tears to my eyes, long live Portugal!
Am Zimbabwean but an astound supporter of Portugal I remember this day very well I was sick but my mom came running into the sitting room after she heard me screaming after Eder scored, such a bliss moment in history
At the end ,after all these years, we Deserved,the dream become true.A nation that went through all the oceans long time ago.
Honestly, after Ronaldo's retirement, I think the Portugal national team is gonna come back stronger than ever. Imagine the new generation that this man has inspired for his country. Even someone like MBappe or Son Heung Min were aspired to be at that level and both had delivered. The new era of Portugal, in the next decade or two, is gonna be very interesting to keep an eye on!
as an england fan i’m so happy that portugal could make history and win this massive trophy
A real-life fairy-tale, a struggle to overcome previous heartbreaks, well documented, well told. Almost gave me a tear. Kudos to all Portuguese for coming together to make this happen. Football won.
Even with Fernando not being the best coach he is a legend for that speech
