France eliminated Portugal in a penalty shootout and will be Spain’s opponent in the semifinals of Euro 2024, next Tuesday in Munich, after a 0-0 draw at the end of the first ninety minutes and extra time.
France will face Portugal in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024, looking to make amends for their disappointing start to the tournament. The match will take place on Friday, July 5 at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg at 21:00 local time / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT. Although neither team has shown its best soccer in the tournament, this match promises to be exciting and offers both sides the opportunity to reaffirm themselves as true title contenders. All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé this matchday. Here is the definitive guide to the date, kick-off time, TV channel and live broadcast of this exciting match.
After a lackluster group stage (one win and two draws) and a narrow 1-0 win over Belgium in the Round of 16, France’s performance has fallen short of expectations. A lack of goals from Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, an overall athletic deficit and tactical doubts from coach Didier Deschamps have slowed the pace of play for Les Bleus. Despite this, they have managed to reach the quarterfinals thanks to a solid defense that has only conceded one goal (penalty). Also, friday’s match will pit the young french captain against his boyhood idol Cristiano Ronaldo, weeks before he begins his own Real Madrid journey following in the Portuguese legend’s footsteps. The fitness of Kylian, who is playing with a protective mask after a broken nose, will be crucial to the French national team aspirations.
Roberto Martinez’s team secured first place in Group F with wins over Czech Republic (2-0) and Turkey (3-0), but lost its unbeaten streak to Georgia (0-2) in the last group match. In the round of 16, they struggled to beat Slovenia in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw, with goalkeeper Diogo Costa standing out by saving three crucial penalties.
Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps’ team, to the surprise of many, finished second in Group D with an opening win over Austria (1-0) and draws against the Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1). In the Round of 16, they avoided extra time thanks to a late Jan Vertonghen own goal, which eliminated Belgium from the tournament.
