UEFA European Championship split the city’s soccer fans into two factions as France took on Portugal for the right to brag for the next four years.
It seemed like a tall order for Portugal though, when soccer god Cristiano Ronaldo tried in vain to get back on the pitch after French midfielder Dimitri Payet’s tackle ended his run.
“That’s why I’m hoping Portugal steps up their game,” said Tavares.Portugal’s Euro 2016 heroes continued celebrating their first ever international trophy on Monday as they arrived back in Lisbon following their dramatic 1-0 extra time victory over France.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s side were narrow winners over the hosts, a superb long-range strike from substitute Eder in extra time proving to be the only goal over the course of 120 tension-fuelled minutes.
It sparked wild celebrations for manager Fernando Santos and his team, the party continuing both before the squad flew back to Portugal and on arrival into Lisbon. Once landing back home, Ronaldo and the rest of the Portugal squad boarded an open top bus as the party showed no signs of stopping.
