Portugal have hit the training ground on the eve of their crucial meeting with the host nation France in the Euro 2016 final at the Stade de France.

The Portuguese received a boost on Saturday when Pepe returned to full training after missing his side’s semi-final-win over Wales due to thigh injury.

The Real Madrid defender now seems fit for the final. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates are looking to win their 1st major tournament and it’s just the 2nd time that they have made-it to the final.

In their last appearance on such a stage, Portugal were denied by surprise champions Greece at the Euro 2004.

This year, Fernando Santos's side qualified from their group stage as one of the best 3rd-placed team,s and it took them until the semifinal to post a victory inside 90 minutes.
