It is not without difficulty that France continue to chart their path to the Euro final. Next up: the quarter-finals. After a narrow win over old rivals Belgium, the Blues will face Portugal in a match that will remind some of the Euro 2016 final.
The meeting will take place on Friday, July 5, at 9 p.m., inside the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
The 51 matches of Euro 2024 are being offered in both free and paid formats. Here's how to watch the match live and on which channels.
Although it may seem surprising, the Blues are looking feverish, despite reaching the quarter-finals. Deschamps' men won 1-0 against Belgium, and Deschamps' men owe their salvation to Randal Kolo Muani, but also to a foot in the wrong place from Jan Vertonghen, who showed a new CSC to the French team.
Surprisingly, the Blues reached the quarter-finals without scoring a proper goal in a match, in fact, of the three goals in four matches, two were from CSCs, and one from a penalty.
If the attack looked uncertain, the same could not be said of the French defence. Drawn with Spain, they have conceded just one goal in four games, a Lewandowski penalty.
seleção gets water
The Selecao suffered a few cold sweats during their Round of 16 clash with Slovenia. After the score was 0-0 at half-time, Portugal could have sealed their fate in extra time, with a penalty kick in the 105th minute, which Ronaldo unfortunately missed. The match went to penalties, and Portugal won thanks to three consecutive saves from goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Against France, the Portuguese will seek to erase the bad memories left by Slovenia, which gave them a glimpse of the exit door.
Led by Cristiano Ronaldo in search of his first goal in the Euros, the team is keen to lead Portugal to the top of Europe for the second time, after the first coronation against France in 2016.
A match between two European giants, to be watched this evening at 9pm. On beIN Sports 1, M6 and M6+ streaming platform.
