Cristiano Ronaldo departed the Euro 2016 final on a stretcher, shedding tears after suffering a knee injury, before being replaced in just the 24th minute.
The Portugal star came off second best after a challenge with West Ham's Dimitri Payet in the seventh minute of the game at the Stade de France.
The Frenchman won the ball cleanly with a forceful tackle but caught Ronaldo with his trailing leg.
The Real Madrid man tried to continue and went off twice for treatment, the second time visibly in tears from the pain. The 31-year-old forward initially appeared fit enough to continue, albeit with his movement limited by the heavy strapping applied by the Portuguese medical team.
