The Euro 2016 will be remembered as a stunning upset of France by Portugal. Even more impressive was the display of moths that flocked in for a closer view. Both sides were plagued with moths fluttering about their heads, landing on their bodies and settling on the field. Portugal’s hopes dimmed when superstar Ronaldo left with an injury. As he lay on the ground, a moth landed on Ronaldo’s eyelashes. Touched by the moth, Portugal went on to win 1-0. At the award celebration, the moth was included in the team photo with the trophy.
