The forward played little part in the decider after
coming off injured following a clash with Dimitri Payet,
but was delighted to add an international trophy to his
collection
Portugal star and captain Cristiano Ronaldo praised his team for
a deserved Euro 2016 success, saying they had proved their critics
wrong.
Eder scored a 109th-minute winner as Fernando Santos' men
claimed a 1-0 victory over France in the final in Paris on Sunday.
Ronaldo came off due to a knee injury in the first half, but
returned to try and rally Portugal to a first major title from the
sidelines.
The Real Madrid forward lauded Portugal and felt they were
worthy champions.
"Portugal have deserved this after many years of sacrifice.
No one believed in us," Ronaldo said.
"I had already won everything with clubs. I lacked something with
the national team."
Ronaldo said he knew Lille striker Eder would score the winner.
He said: "I've been in football a long time. I have a lot of
feelings. I felt that he was the one who was going to score."
