    Portugal to face France for the title
  • Portugal will face in the Finals of Euro 2016 at the Stade de France on Sunday.

    Even though Portugal have become hard to beat, they would have preferred to face Germany given their record against France.

    Portugal's unusual journey to the finals
  • No one thought Portugal will reach the finals of Euro 2016 after their group stage matches.

    All the three group stage matches against Iceland, Austria and Hungary ended in a draw.

    Portugal won against Croatia in the next round, with Ricardo Quaresma scoring in 117th minute.

    The quarter final match against Poland again ended in a draw. Portugal won 5-3 in the penalties.

  • It was more of a Ronaldo versus Bale rather than Portugal versus Wales in the first semi-finals of the Euro 2016.

    But it was Ronaldo who became the star of the game and took Portugal to the Euro 2016 Finals.

    With the help of a header in the early second half by Ronaldo and a strike by Nani, Portugal fired into the finals.

  • France did not make any mistakes in their dream run up to the finals.

    The hosts topped their group by winning two of the three matches against Romania and Albania. The third match against Switzerland ended in a draw.

    France defeated Ireland in the next round of the tournament 2-1.

    Iceland's Euro 2016 fantasy was cut short by France, who beat them 5-2.

  • France faced world champions Germany in the second semi final of the tournament.

    Despite being out played in the first half of the game France's Antoine Griezmann scored two goals for the team.

    After beating Italy in the quarter finals, Germany seemed more aggressive and dominated the possession. All it lacked was the precision.

    Grietzmann is the top scorer of the tournament with six goals.
