00:43and it was not until the 10 minutes of the second half that the miracle was consecrated
00:48because in a corner kick, Caristea approached the sky and shot the header
00:53to score a historic goal against 62,865 spectators
00:58With the pressure of losing being favorites

01:04because he hired a forecast, the miracle had been consumed
01:08and Greece was proclaimed champion of the Euro in Portugal
01:11a fact that would be confirmed as one of the saddest days for Cristiano Ronaldo
01:15and that would carry with him for almost his entire career
