Portugal makes history with inspired European win

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Portugal's historic performance at the Stade de #france is a landmark moment for the side: It is the first time that the team has brought home the European crown.

This achievement is heightened by the loss of captain and talisman, #cristianoronaldo, the tournament’s joint top scorer of all time. Ronaldo is the first player to appear in three European tournament semifinal matches, and has played in a record 20 tournament games. He is also the first player to score in seven different games across iterations of the #competition, and the first to score three or more goals in two separate championships. Five of Ronaldo's goals have come from his head, including a remarkable, towering header in this year's semifinals. Ronaldo's seven goals in the 2016 #competition make him joint top scorer in the history of the tournament, with a record nine goals.

The team drew upon its collective skill, fitness and determination to win against the odds, with a brilliant goal by strikerEder, wearing Mercurial Vapor boots.

“We are very proud to have seen two #nike teams playing the European final in #paris and we congratulate Portugal for its achievement. Portugal demonstrated tremendous team spirit and resilience today to achieve victory in spite of the loss of their captain #cristianoronaldo. The game marks a terrific summer for #nike Football and confirms our global leadership in the most popular game," states Bert Hoyt, Vice President and General Manager #nike Western Europe.
