France will face Portugal on Friday, July 5, in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 in Germany (June 14-August 14). This match will be an opportunity for Kylian Mbappé to face his idol: Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite his endless admiration for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, he will try to hasten his star's international retirement. The Blues' top scorer, who is not at his best, will face the oldest player in the history of the competition, Pepe, at 41. Always strong in duels, the Porto player has the ability to take on Mbappé, hampered by his mask and diminished by his broken nose. For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo will have a hard time facing William Saliba.
“When you are a defender, you want to play against the best strikers,” said the Arsenal player who “crushed” the powerful Romelu Lukaku in the previous round against Belgium (1-0). CR7, “We all know him, he just wants to score goals,” confirmed substitute goalkeeper Brice Samba. “He has nothing left to prove in football after everything he has done, we must be strong to face him,” he added. Specifically, the French defence has been surrounded by barbed wire since the start of the Euros, conceding only one goal, a penalty, to another legend largely dominated by the pivotal, Robert Lewandowski.
This will be a clash between two title contenders on July 14 in Berlin. In the previous round, Didier Deschamps' men beat Belgium in the round of 16 (1-0). For their part, the Portuguese confirmed their ticket against Slovenia in an ill-fated penalty shootout. (tab 0-0, 3-0). In Hamburg, the tricolor will get revenge after the Euro 2016 final (1-0).
