Yes, the world now knows that Cristiano Ronaldo was taken off because of an injury during the European Championship final.

But seriously, it was a huge talking point. Many took to social media to express their opinions on his injury, even his mum - Dolores Aveiro.

She had some stinging words for France international Dimitri Payet, who made the challenge on Sunday evening against Portugal.

Here's her Twitter post shortly after the challenge from Payet.

She said:

"I cannot see my son like that," she said. "Football is about playing the ball, not hurting your opponent."

Some of the responses to Dolores' Twitter post were interesting.

Despite the injury, he still lifted the cup and most importantly - Cristiano's moth got his own Twitter account.

Well played, Portugal.
