Kylian Mbappe’s France had to overcome a very difficult test in the quarter-finals, none other than Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, in one of the most anticipated duels of UEFA Euro 2024.
The match was as expected, a very close game in which both teams took good care of their goal and could not make a difference. The game ended tied 0-0 in regulation time and even in extra time the tie persisted.
In the penalty shootout, France was the lucky team and beat Portugal by 4-3. France thus advanced to the semifinals where they will face Spain, who earlier defeated tournament hosts Germany 2-1 with a goal by Mikel Merino in the last minute of extra time.
