Cristiano Ronaldo will lead out Portugal against France on Sunday looking to guide the Seleçao to a first ever major trophy - and banish the demons of 2004.

Appearing in his first European Championship, the then 19-year-old was left inconsolable as the Portuguese suffered heartbreak in the final, losing 1-0 to surprise-package Greece despite playing on home soil.

His tears of despair that night are one of the tournament's abiding images.
