Portugal coach Paulo Bento has insisted that his team can be proud of their performance following Wednesday's semi-final defeat to Spain at Euro 2012.
After a goalless 120 minutes, the 2004 runners-up lost 4-2 in a penalty shootout as Spain reached a record third consecutive major final.
"If I had to choose a way of losing I wouldn't choose this way, but Spain are a great team and we can leave with our heads high," Bento told reporters.
The Spaniards will meet either Germany or Italy in Sunday's final.
