Cristiano Ronaldo upstaged Gareth Bale to propel Portugal into their second European Championship final, scoring a thumping header and then setting up Nani's goal in a 2-0 win over Wales on Wednesday (6th July).

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal

(comparing with Euro 2004 final at home soil):

"Obviously it was different. I was 18 years old, it was my first final, my debut. Twelve years have gone by and we will be at a final match again. I am very proud of it. I have always dreamt to win something for the national team and I hope we can win this time. I am very confident and I believe that these players deserve it, I deserve it, the fans deserve it, all the Portuguese people at home and abroad too. We have been feeling the fantastic support every time and now we have to dream. Obviously we haven't won anything yet but we are at a final. Nobody though Portugal could reach the final. The truth is that we are at the finals. It makes me proud, very happy and now we have to prepare for Sunday to fulfil our dream.
