Portugal national team captain, Cristiano Ronaldo believes his side deserves to win the Euro 2016 final. The Real Madrid forward scored a goal and made an assist against Wales to see his team progress to the final.

Ronaldo was a teenager when his country lost by a lone goal to Greece at the 2014 decider. The 31-year-old captain said it was a far different situation for Portugal this time, and that his country deserve victory.

“I am very confident and I believe that all these boys deserve it. I deserve it, Portugal deserves it, the fans deserve it – every single Portuguese person deserves it. They have been very supportive.”

“Yes, this time is different. I was 18, that was my first final. My debut. Now 12 years have gone by and now we are going to play another final. I am very proud of that. I have always dreamed of winning for Portugal, I hope it is our turn now. We’ve yet to win anything but it’s the final. I don’t think many people thought that Portugal would make it to the final, but we are there,” Ronaldo said.

Portugal will face the victor between France and Germany in another European decider on Sunday.
