Moutinho believes Euro 2016 will lead to more Portugal titles

The Monaco midfielder is confident that the new European champions will go on to win further honours at major tournaments

Portugal midfielder Joao Moutinho thinks success in Euro 2016 will be the first of many major trophies for his country.

Fernando Santos' men stunned hosts France in winning Sunday's final 1-0 thanks to substitute Eder's superb long-range strike in extra time.

The victory at Stade de France saw Portugal taste continental glory 12 years after they were stunned as hosts at the final hurdle, losing out in the Euro 2004 showpiece to Greece.

Monaco midfielder Moutinho, 29, now believes the ingredients are in place for further Portugal silverware in future tournaments.
