Portugal star and captain Cristiano Ronaldo praised his team for a deserved Euro 2016 success, saying they had proved their critics wrong.
Eder scored a 109th-minute winner as Fernando Santos' men claimed a 1-0 victory over France in the final in Paris on Sunday.
"Portugal have deserved this after many years of sacrifice. No one believed in us," Ronaldo said.
"I had already won everything with clubs. I lacked something with the national team."
He said: "I've been in football a long time. I have a lot of feelings. I felt that he was the one who was going to score."
