It was left to Nani to guide them to glory at the Parc des Princes as they edged out hosts France thanks to Eder's extra-time winner.
Ronaldo played a major role in getting Portugal to the final after contributing three goals and the same number of assists.
He was beaten to top spot in the scoring charts by Antoine Griezmann, who netted six times for France.
However, Ronaldo was the one celebrating at full-time after Eder's strike sealed a first tournament win for Portugal.
The Real Madrid megastar was awarded the Silver Boot for his exploits, but showed his gratitude to Nani for getting them over the line by handing him the prize instead.
Nani wrote on his Instagram: "More than a captain you're a champion! Thanks for the gift! Let's go Portugal we are the Champions!"
Speaking after the game on Sunday evening Ronaldo revealed just how much finally achieving success with his national team meant to him.
