Amazing scenes – almost everyone had France down as nailed-on winners, few gave Portugal a chance, but they have pulled out a dogged performance of grit and determination – and now they can call themselves European Champions.

The French players have collected their runners-up medals, but understandably look despondent.

France are attacking for all they are worth, but they have to be careful of the counter as Portugal break and Pogba brings down Mario.
He goes in the referee’s book for that.
Just over 5 minutes left…
