After losing to France in the quarterfinals, Portugal is the most recent team to be eliminated from Euro 2024.
The night belonged to Theo Hernandez, who scored the game-winning penalty that advanced France to the semi-finals and set up a meeting with Spain, who had earlier eliminated Germany.
With the Iberiаn teаm previоusly surviving а scаre аgаinst Geоrgiа, Cristiаnо Rоnаldо’s Eurоpeаn hоpes hаve nоw crumbled аt whаt will undоubtedly be his finаl internаtiоnаl event.Because he was substituted off in extra time, French superstar Kylian Mbappe was not on the field for the decisive moment. “Mbappe left his team before the Portugal match,” one angry supporter said online.
“That nose thing called Mbappé milking. “Mbappe definitely bottled out of taking a pen, imo,” one person fumed, while another added, “Bottled it.” My nose hurts. A fourth individual wrote: “You’d have to physically drag a 39-year-old Ronaldo off the park kicking and screaming when there’s a chance to be the hero…”Is that Mbappe? Locked it away. How peculiar.
The match was dull from start to finish, culminating in a penalty shootout. The first penalty for Portugal was converted by Ronaldo, who had previously missed in open play against Georgia but had converted in the shootout.
