Tears were flowing from Cristiano Ronaldo's face on Sunday, but they weren't tears of joy from lifting the Euro 2016 crown. Ronaldo was taken off 25 minutes into the Euro 2016 final between France and Portugal with a knee injury, as tears rolled down his face.
Early on in the match he was tackled by Dimitri Payet and their knees collided. Ronaldo tried to keep going, even having his knee wrapped up, but it was too much as he signaled to the bench to be taken off.
Here is the tackle.
