Portugal looked set to be one of Euro 2024’s favourites after wins against Czech Republic and Turkey early in the tournament, but a shock defeat to Georgia makes their first knock-out clash with Slovenia a promising fixture.
Roberto Martinez’s side were undone by the neutrals’ favourites Georgia to close their Group F fixtures, falling 2-0 but ending the group stage on top regardless. Slovenia meanwhile proved their defensive ability by holding England to a 0-0 draw and progressing to the knock-out stages of a European Championships for the first time in history.
