Recent Portugal National Football Team Vs France National Football Team Timeline(3-5)
France’s quarterfinal match against Portugal in Hamburg resulted in a penalty shootout; they will now face Spain in the 2024 European Championship semifinals.
In the final stages of the match, neither team had any attacking quality and both teams missed many opportunities. Goalkeepers Mike Maignan and Diogo Costa demonstrated their worth, with Maignan stopping close-range attempts from Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha and Costa assisting in containing the threat posed by Kylian Mbappe.
The teams were unable to differentiate themselves after 120 minutes, so a penalty shootout was implemented to determine the winner. Portugal’s Ronaldo took the first penalty kick, but a miss by Joao Felix eliminated the Selecao from the competition, while France’s Theo Hernandez scored the final penalty to send them to the semi-final.

Key Players to Watch: Portugal vs France
1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
The 39-year-old Portugal captain has participated in every match, but his performance at Euro 2024 has been far from ideal as he has not yet scored a goal. His only goal contribution against Turkey came in the form of assisting Bruno Fernandes.
Ronaldo, one of football history’s greatest players, burst into tears after his extra-time penalty attempt to win the game was saved. However, considering his record of amazing comebacks, Ronaldo should put on another valiant display against a formidable French squad.
2. Kylian Mbappe (France)
In just 82 international matches, the deadly forward has already scored 48 goals and provided 34 assists as a member of Les Bleus, demonstrating his consistent play. For the new Real Madrid recruit, Euro 2024 has also been beneficial.
In the first game of the season, Mbappe assisted on a goal and netted one in the draw with Poland. In the current tournament, he has a 67% goal participation percentage for France. The most difficult task for Rúben Dias, Pepe, Nuno Mendes, and João Cancelo would be to stop Kylian Mbappe.
