Ricardo Quaresma has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as the only person in football he admires after Portugal's Euro 2016 victory.
Quaresma replaced Ronaldo in the first half of the final against France after the captain suffered a knee injury.
The Real Madrid star re-emerged from the dressing room to encourage his team-mates from the sidelines, however, and Eder's goal in extra time secured a 1-0 win and the trophy.
"Even with the injury [Ronaldo] never stopped, he always supported the team and that's why I say, not just as a friend, that he is the only person I admire in football," Quaresma told O Jogo.
