Cristiano Ronaldo holds the trophy as he arrives on stage at Alameda square

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal have arrived home following their stunning Euro 2016 triumph.

Thousands of fans lined the streets in Lisbon as the players stood on an open-top bus parading the trophy.

The captain was left in tears as he left the final on a stretcher just 24 minutes into the game after suffering a knee injury.

But he later returned to the touchline to encourage his team-mates through the rest of the match, as they stunned host nation France with Eder's late goal to claim the trophy.
