Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot received a Medal of Honour over the summer.
After making his national team debut against France in the European Championship group stage, Dalot was honoured by the Portuguese president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, with the Medal of Honour of the municipality of Celorico de Basto.
Dalot said: "It is with enormous pride that I receive this honour, despite not being a native of Celorico de Basto, because I was born in Braga, I really have a strong link with the municipality through my father who was born here.
"Since I was a child I have built a bond with the town, which has a place in my heart, as do all of you who live here. I am sorry that I cannot be there with you, because I am in Manchester, but I am very proud to be represented by my parents and I hope that they can express this feeling of pride that we are feeling."
