UEFA EURO 2016 (champions - Portugal)
EURO 2016 ended with Portugal beating hosts France 1-0 after extra time at the Stade de France on 10 July 2016 - substitute Eder striking from 20 metres in the 109th minute - for Portugal's first major trophy, in a final Cristiano Ronaldo left injured after 25 minutes to coach from the touchline.
Why this wins its question: The improbable-champion arc (three group draws, one 90-minute win) and the sourced Ronaldo-Eder exchange bound to UEFA's own report.
Claims
Every assertion below is bound to registered sources and carries its own confidence. Weight them; do not treat the page as uniformly authoritative.
Portugal beat hosts France 1-0 after extra time in the EURO 2016 final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on 10 July 2016, winning their first major tournament despite drawing all three group games and winning only once in 90 minutes all tournament.
Substitute Eder scored the only goal with a 20-metre strike in the 109th minute; Cristiano Ronaldo went off injured on 25 minutes and, per UEFA's report, told Eder before extra time that he would score the winner.
