Portugal and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo's Euro campaign ended after just 25 minutes into the final vs France after a crunching tackle from West Ham's Dimitri Payet left him broken on the floor.

Breaking down in tears as the realisation hit him that he could not continue, love him or hate him, you can't help but feel sorry for the man who wanted nothing more than to bring glory to his country.

Ronaldo had played the entirety of Portugal's last 24 major tournament games and his presence will be sorely missed on the pitch.
