PORTUGAL RECEIVE HEROES' WELCOME WHILE FRANCE MEET PRESIDENT HOLLANDE

Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates were greeted by
thousands of fans at the airport and on the streets of
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.
