1.Mbappe and Ronaldo face off
France and Portugal will renew their rivalry from the European Championship in their quarterfinal matchup on Friday. The two leaders, Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo will be the center of attention. This high-stakes encounter between Portugal and France in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals could not have become any more important. The two own goals, the most famous of which came from Jan Vertonghen and earned Les Bleus a 1-0 victory over Belgium in the round of sixteen, and Mbappe’s penalty have netted Les Bleus just three goals in their last four games. “I don’t believe that any of us has discussed the fact that he broke his nose sufficiently.” As he mentioned, playing while wearing a mask is difficult. He ended the season a little too worn out. He has almost always scored a goal for us since 2021.”
2. France and Poland country
On the other hand, France has only allowed one goal, which came from a penalty kick made by Robert Lewandowski of Poland. Portugal, meanwhile, advanced to this level after defeating Slovenia in a shootout after 120 minutes without a goal. Goalie Diogo Costa proved to be Slovenia’s hero in the end, saving all three of their penalty kick attempts. However, Ronaldo’s feelings after his penalty was saved in extra time will also be remembered from the game.
3. Portugal defeated France
In the process of trying to become the oldest goal scorer in tournament history, the 39-year-old missed a lot of opportunities in that match.Manager Roberto Martinez has backed the seasoned forward in the face of growing criticism, despite the belief held by some that Ronaldo is preventing Portugal from developing into a more formidable squad. Portugal defeated France in extra time to win the Euro 2016 final in Paris.
It is only with Ronaldo, the two players from that day have returned for Euro 2024.
