Trivia
* This was Portugal's first UNL appearance.
* Portugal hosted the semis, final and 3rd place play-off.
* By beating the Netherlands at home, Portugal succeeded in further banishing the ghosts of 2004 by winning a trophy on home soil 15 years after that painful night on July 4th.
* This was the fourth tournament clash between Portugal and the Netherlands, and the fourth time Portugal vanquished the Dutch. The previous victories took place at Euro 2004 (SF: 2-1), World Cup 2006 (R016: 1-0) and Euro 2012 (GS: 2-1). Half of those six goals came from Ronaldo. No wonder they HATE him. >;)
