BREAKING: Mbappe Ends Pepe And Ronaldo’s #EURO2024 Dreams As France Defeat Portugal To Set Up Spain Clash In Semi Final—–Cristiano Ronaldo and PEPE’s journey in the 2024 European Championship (Euro 2024) has ended in the quarter-final stage thanks to France’s victory over Portugal.
Earlier today, July 5, Portugal and France met at the Volksparkstadion for their Euro 2024 quarter-final clash. The game failed to live up to the expectations as the two sides failed to take advantage their few chances.
France booked their place into the semi-finals of Euro 2024 with a penalty shoot-out win over Portugal after a tetchy 0-0 draw in 120 minutes. Kylian Mbappe did not take a penalty in the shoot-out after he had to be withdrawn in extra-time after he appeared to have issues with his nose once again.
Portugal’s Joao Felix missed the only spot kick in the shoot-out and France will play Spain next up.
France progressed into the Euro 2024 semi-finals as defender Theo Hernandez scored the winning spot-kick in a penalty shoot-out against Portugal.
A goalless match always looked destined to be decided by penalties as the defences prevailed.
Portugal substitute Joao Felix was the only player to be denied during the shoot-out after rattling the post.
Portugal were confident going into the shoot-out after progressing into the quarter-finals after beating Slovenia on penalties following another goalless draw.
However, France were perfect from the penalty spot with Theo Hernandez, Bradley Barcola, Jules Kounde, Youssouf Fofana and Ousmane Dembele all netting to send them through.
Ruthless Spain await France in the semi-final after they beat host nation Germany in Friday’s other quarter-final.
