Lisbon as they paraded the Euro 2016 trophy
Portugal received a heroes' welcome upon returning to Lisbon as
the new European champions but there were more than a few glum
faces in Paris as President Hollande offered the France squad his
commiserations.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates enjoyed an open-top bus
parade with the trophy after landing in the capital, with
thousands of fans waiting at the airport and on the streets to
greet them.
For Didier Deschamps' team, though, it was a trip to the Elysee
Palace, where they met the head of state and did their best to
force a smile for the waiting photographers.
Portugal beat France on Sunday evening with an extra-time goal
from Eder to seal their first major international trophy.
Les Bleus were looking to claim silverware for the first time since
2000 but the efforts of player of the tournament Antoine
Griezmann were not enough to break down the Portuguese
resistance.

42-years-old Tyra Patterson was convicted in 1994 for being an accomplice to murder because she witnessed her friend kill another girl. Patterson has now been released and was reunited with her family on Christmas Day after celebrities joined a long-running campaign to free her. According to report, she had always maintained her innocence after being convicted in the murder and robbery of 15-year-old Michelle Lai in Cleveland, Ohio. Patterson claims police forced her into confessing to a robbery she never committed, which opened her up to an aggravated murder conviction. She did not fire the shot that killed Lai, but under Ohio law accomplices can be handed the same punishment as killers.
