Cristiano Ronaldo's sister Katia Aveiro sent an emotional message that was shared across Portugal after win over France in the final of Euro 2016. Portugal's first ever win at a major tournament was met with a wave of euphoria and emotion, Aveiro saying that Ronaldo's tears were shared by an entire country:

"These tears shed by my brother hurt like a punch in the chest, the whole of Portugal cried with Cristiano after that dirty, repugnant tackle", she wrote on Instagram.

“But God is great and I knew that Jesus was sacrificed on the cross for a better world, Cristiano cried because of the pain and because he couldn't fight with his teammates to the end for his beloved country, but like Jesus is just, the cup was lifted by the rightful winners and the dream came true. We are the champions".
