Kathmandu | Cristiano Ronaldo made European Championship history as Portugal ended Wales's extraordinary journey with a 2-0 win on Wednesday to march into the Euro 2016 final.Portugal last contended in a last at Euro 2004, when the group shockingly lost on home soil to Greece. A 19-year-old Ronaldo shed tears after that match, yet he has figured out how to lead a much weaker side to another universal show-stopper.
The Portuguese superstar, who has had to soak up a lot of criticism for a lacklustre tournament by his high standards, majestically powered in a 50th-minute header to put his side in front. He also teed up Nani for Portugal's second goal three minutes before consoling his club colleague Bale on the pitch at the end.
Wales kept their adversaries calm in the principal half yet couldn't recuperate the two-objective deficiency, finishing a sparkling run that has dazzled millions back home and transformed their players into saints. West Ham Joined guard James Collins got approval for Wales set up of the suspended Ben Davies and he adapted manfully to the risk postured by Ronaldo in the principal half, in spite of the fact that he was maybe lucky to escape rebuff for a punishment box headlock on the Portugal skipper.

Wales had taken control of the diversion subsequent to falling behind to Belgium in the quarterfinals, at last winning 3-1, however Portugal gave them no possibility of doing that by scoring a second objective inside three minutes. Ronaldo was this time the supplier, yet unintentionally, as his mishit shot was nudged into the net by his previous Manchester Joined fellow team member Nani.
"I think we were somewhat drained today evening time," Wales mentor Chris Coleman said. "I can't say anything against our players. All that they had in them they forgot there. I can't say I'm disillusioned with them, that'd be over the top."
