		</div><p>Antoine Griezmann is struggling to get to grips with &#8220;cruel and magnificent&#8221; Euro 2016, but pledged France will kick on after the exasperating extra-time loss to Portugal.</p>
<p>Didier Deschamps&#8217; men have united a country at a difficult time and were fancied to follow in the footsteps of the classes of 1984 and 1998 by making home advantage count.</p>
<p>However, Portugal broke French hearts at the Stade de France on Sunday, upsetting the apple cart as substitute Eder&#8217;s extra-time effort from distance secured a 1-0 win.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s cruel and magnificent at the same time,&#8221; Griezmann said after the final.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve lived through some extraordinary moments, and the saddest moments as well. We have to learn.</p>
<p>But tonight we gave it all and we have no regrets. I&#8217;m proud of the squad, proud of everybody. Now we have to come back stronger.</p>
<p>&#8220;This time we didn&#8217;t manage it, unlike against Germany. It is a pity.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hit the post, I had chances as well and I almost scored. The goalkeeper played well, too. It&#8217;s frustrating, but we must come back stronger.&#8221;</p>
<p>Griezmann, just like his team-mates and compatriots, looked crushed after falling at the final hurdle.</p>
<p>It felt particularly harsh on the Atletico Madrid attacker having shone so bright during the tournament, netting six goals en route to the final.</p>
<p>Griezmann sheepishly collected the Golden Boot in the post-match press conference &#8211; an impressive achievement but one overshadowed by defeat.</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe later I can feel proud, but for now, it&#8217;s about the group,&#8221; he said, having also provided two assists during Euro 2016.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very disappointed for my team-mates. I really wanted to offer them this trophy, but I couldn&#8217;t score and I&#8217;m disappointed.&#8221;</p>
