Portugal's journey to the Euro 2016 title

Portugal made the last 16 as one of the best third placed teams and despite their football not being easy on the eye, it has been effective.

Portugal are the winners of Euro 2016 after beating host nation France 1-0 in Paris last night.

They survived early scares in the group phase to secure a last 16 tie against fancied Croatia.

Often criticized due to a lack of flair, Fernando Santos has carved an effective game plan based on a solid and resolute defensive block.
