#2 Portugal winning their first major trophy
In 2016 Euros, most people were probably rooting for hosts France or World Cup holders Germany to win the Championship. England, Belgium and Spain were also considered as outsiders for the trophy but who would have thought that it would be Portugal who will go all the way!
Since the emergence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal had been more of a one-man army but in the Euros, Fernando Santos’s boys hardly looked like they were thoroughly reliant on the superstar. Despite Cristiano limping off with an injury in the final, Portugal went on to beat favourites France to win their first ever major trophy.
