Portugal topped Group F with little trouble winning all three games, but their progression to this quarter-final match was anything but smooth. Captain and talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo was left in literal tears when he failed to convert a penalty in extra time against Slovenia, but goalkeeper Diogo Costa was on hand to play the hero by making three consecutive saves in the ensuing shootout, setting up this exciting quarter-final clash.
Meanwhile, France’s journey at Euro 2024 has also been surprisingly dramatic. Les Bleus were considered by many the pre-tournament favorites but only managed a second-placed finish in Group D thanks to draws with the Netherlands and Poland. Their win over Belgium in the Round of 16 wasn’t especially convincing either. France won 1-0 thanks to a Jan Vertonghen own-goal with just five minutes remaining, but the side need to find another gear quickly, or they could face an exit at this stage.
