The dream is over for Wales.
Despite a tight and entertaining first half, Portugal were deserved 2-0 winners in Lyon to book their place in their second European Championship Final in 12 years. Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani booked Portugal's place in the decider against either France or Germany.
Even though they lost, the Welsh players took to social media after the game to show how proud they were of their performances in France over the six games.
No regrets tonight, we gave everything. Thank you for all the support!! #TogetherStronger 🲠pic.twitter.com/rtYkPzunri

Former Welsh internationals spoke after the game too. Pride seemed to be the overwhelming emotion from the former players.
Heroes every single one of them ðŸ‘🻠#cymruambyth
