France vs Portugal: How to follow Euro 2024?

“We don't give up anything, we don't give them anything.”Here are Didier Deschamps' words before the France-Belgium match, which clearly played its part. Despite a close and difficult match, Jan Vertonghen's own goal in the 85th minute allowed the Blues to qualify for the quarter-finals.

So, the French team will continue their journey against Portugal and try to secure a place in the semi-finals. For those who did not follow it, Roberto Martinez's men's match against Slovenia ended in a penalty shootout. The Portuguese clearly dominated it (3 tabs to 0), and Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates secured a ticket to the quarter-finals against France. If Portugal are considered one of the favorites to win the tournament, the Blues do not intend to give up the chance to win: We continue, we go to the endRandal Kolo Muani said after the win over Belgium.

France – Portugal: An expected meeting

Remember: On July 10, 2016, the Euro final saw Portugal beat France (1-0 after extra time). During Euro 2000, Portugal and France also faced each other, this time in the semi-finals, in a match that the Blues won 1-2 thanks to goals from Thierry Henry and Zinedine Zidane. That year, France won their second Euro. A reunion at the top awaits football fans on Friday, July 5.

After the emotional upturn that the Seleção experienced during the match against Slovenia, Cristiano Ronaldo directly laid the foundations for their imminent confrontation against France.

As our colleagues at BFMTV reported, the player announced on Monday evening: He added: “We will play a difficult match against France, the favourites in this competition, along with Germany and Spain, and we will wage a war.”Always determined to give his best on the pitch to honour his fans and his shirt, CR7 intends to shoulder his responsibilities and deliver victory to his team and all Portuguese fans.

On the French side, Didier Deschamps has a headache in this match: how do we do without Adrien Rabiot? Indeed, the suspended player for this shock forces the French coach to review his starting lineup. But that's not all, other questions are being asked about the positioning of Antoine Griezmann and the presence of Randal Kolo Muani in the next match at the expense of Marcus Thuram. Despite these adjustments, the Blues' group remains ready to face Portugal, especially thanks to one of the best defenses at Euro 2024.

Note that the overall winner of this match will face the winner of the Spain-Germany match scheduled earlier today.
