Final Summary (7/10)

Result- Final
Portugal def. France 1-0 (A.E.T.)

Portugal v France
CR7 > LM10. I didn't always think so, but now I most definitely do. Perhaps Messi is a better player. But Ronaldo is the GREATEST (I am only speaking about those currently playing, it is impossible to compare people who played at different times). On the pitch, he is an amazing player. He has won the second most Ballons D'ors of all time. Off the pitch, he is known for his charitable ways. One well-known fact about Ronaldo is that he doesn't have any tattoos so he can donate blood to people who need it. It is also well-known that he uses his own money to pay for surgeries for children who need it. But in the Euro Final, we saw yet another side of Cristiano Ronaldo: a leader. Although he is a leader on the field, he showed that he was a devoted teammate and captain when he came back to the Portuguese bench to coach and support his teammates, after needing to leave the field due to injury.

Cristiano Ronaldo played a huge role in this win. He returned to the sidelines after receiving treatment for his knee, and rallied his troops to the win. He proved that he is a team player and he would never give up on his country (like some others have...). Éder, who scored the championship-winning goal, said that he was able to score because Ronaldo gave him confidence and really helped him out. This win gives Ronaldo what he had always been missing for his whole career: an international trophy. And this match has showed us something else: perhaps Ronaldo may become a coach in the future?
