"I have a secret that I have never told media before. I brought a football signed by all players who won the European Cup for Portugal this year. I want to give it to President Xi Jinping, who, as far as I know, is a football fan," said Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa after he met Xi at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on October 8.
