In a thrilling match that ended in a penalty shootout, France edged past Portugal with a 5-3 win, knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo's team. Despite a lackluster performance in the match, France’s star striker Kylian Mbappé remained in good spirits, sprinting onto the pitch after the winning kick. France, led by coach Didier Deschamps, secured a spot in the semi-finals, despite scoring only three goals in five matches, none of which were by their own players. The victory sets up a clash with Spain in Munich, with hopes that Mbappé’s injury will have healed in time. The intense penalty shootout saw some fine spot kicks, with France ultimately prevailing. Ronaldo looked dejected as the reality of Portugal's loss sunk in, possibly marking the end of his European Championship journey dating back to 2004.
