Football fans all around the world were ecstatic after Portugal won the Euro 2016 defeating France 1-0 in the extra time despite losing their star player Cristiano Ronaldo. The closely fought match was had no outcome after the end of the 90 minutes but 28-year-old Guinea-Bissau born Ederzito Antonio Macedo Lopes, who was brought in as the substitute, stole the limelight in the extra time to enable Portugal win their first Euro title.
The effect of the football fever was visible in the Cricketing world as well. World Boss Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy, Wayne Parnell, James Taylor and many other were celebrating the victory. Yuvraj Singh posted a video of him jumping to glory.
Jump for Portugal, jump for Portugal, jump for Portugal! Shabash Mundeyo! Captioned Yuvi…
There was an overload of emotions in the stadium. The champions had lost their captain Cristiano Ronaldo just 24 minutes into the final. There were tears in the eyes of the captain who was shimmied out of the playing area on a stretcher. One of the biggest stars in the sport, the backbone of the side ruled out of the game after before the end of the first half-hour. This was not the sort of twist the Portugal fans expected.
France, who began as the favourites to win, looked stronger now. However, Portugal showed that they still had what it takes to become the champion even without Ronaldo. France was dominant but Portugal showed resistance and denied any chances to the opposition. And, as it happened, at the final whistle, the Portugal’s players piled on one another in celebration, while the French players sank to the turf in disappointment.
Ronaldo has got so much passion, desire and commitment, let alone class, ability and talent!! What a legend! #Euro2016Final #Ronaldo ?
