Description
The course of Euro 2016
For the first time, 24 national teams took part in Euro 2016. Such a large number of participants resulted in as many as five debutants. Interestingly, the debutants did quite well – Wales reached the semifinals and Iceland reached the quarterfinals, Slovakia and Northern Ireland also advanced from the group stage.
The hosts and the Portuguese national team played in the final at the Stade de France. Both teams created chances, but in the end it was the Portuguese who managed to score a 1–0 goal in extra time and win the European championship – for the first time ever.
Early in the match, Portugal's captain and biggest star, Cristiano Ronaldo, suffered an injury. Although he still tried to return to the field, he eventually had to be substituted, and for the rest of the match he reacted very impulsively at the substitutes' bench, one of the more characteristic images from that final.
