After scoring a hat trick in the Madrid derby, Cristiano Ronaldo was in reflection about the European championship where Portugal were winners. "When we arrived at the Stade de France I was aware that this wasn't my first final and I felt less pressure than the Champions League final against Atletico. I knew that Portugal had nothing to lose, we weren't the favorites. Before the start of the tournament in the Real locker room players were kidding with me, Kroos in particular, and the Spanish players: 'What a long vacation you will be on this year Cris,' they kept saying, meaning we would be out of the tournament quickly. Nobody believed in us." Cristiano, on Griezmann: "Last season he played really well, even though he lost two out of two finals against me. He is a really nice lad, he's young and he's growing up. A funny thing happened a short time after the final when we met in a restaurant on vacation in Miami, while he was eating with his girlfriend he came over to say hi and told me, smiling: 'Cristiano, I hate you.'"
