Cristiano Ronaldo has celebrated the 10th anniversary of Portugal’s historic UEFA Euro 2016 triumph with a heartfelt message on social media, reflecting on one of the greatest moments of his career.
The Portuguese captain shared photos from the memorable victory over France and described the triumph as a defining achievement for both himself and the nation. Portugal claimed their first-ever major international trophy with a 1-0 extra-time win, despite Ronaldo being forced off injured early in the final.
Ronaldo wrote that the success would remain “forever in our hearts,” paying tribute to his teammates, coaching staff and Portuguese supporters who helped make history. The post quickly attracted millions of reactions from fans and fellow footballers around the world.
Although Portugal’s 2026 World Cup campaign recently ended in disappointment, Ronaldo’s tribute served as a reminder of the country’s greatest football achievement and the legacy of the squad that lifted the European Championship trophy a decade ago.
