Portugal stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe have been named in the Euro 2016 team of the tournament for the second consecutive time while France forward Antoine Griezmann was chosen as the player of the tournament.

Goalkeeper Rui Patricio and defender Raphael Guerreiro were among four Portuguese players named in the coveted list, while midfielder Dimitri Payet joined Griezmann in representing hosts France.

The rest of the team consist of players from Germany (Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng and Toni Kroos) and Wales (Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey).

Griezmann finished the tournament with the Golden Boot, scoring six goals and providing two assists as he played an integral part in France's progress to the final where they lost to Portugal 1-0.

However, Ronaldo' teammate at Real Madrid and star player of Wales, Gareth Bale missed out even after scoring three goals.

We believe that the selected XI represents the best of the competition," UEFA coaching ambassador Sir Alex Ferguson was quoted as saying by uefa.com.

UEFA team of the tournament: Rui Patricio (POR); Joshua Kimmich (GER), Jerome Boateng (GER), Pepe (POR), Raphael Guerreiro (POR); Toni Kroos (GER), Joe Allen (WAL), Aaron Ramsey (WAL); Antoine Griezmann (FRA), Dimitri Payet (FRA); Cristiano Ronaldo (POR).
