A loooong evening – with announcement!
For the fourth time, France and Portugal will meet in a knockout match at a European Championship, and for the fourth time, it will require at least extra time.
In the end, the French won 5:3 on penalties and made it to the semi-finals – Portugal’s dream of winning the title in Hamburg was shattered. Unlucky Joao Felix hit the post with Portugal’s third shot.
Mbappé on, Ronaldo out!
It is the generational duel of superstars: Kylian Mbappé (25) against Cristiano Ronaldo (39) – the five-time world footballer and the great childhood idol of the 14-year-younger Frenchman.

There used to be posters of him in his room, but now Mbappé sometimes gets advice from Ronaldo. The Frenchman revealed this before the game: “He always helps me. He asks what’s going on in my life and he gives me tips. He will always be a football legend, considering what he has done for football. It’s an honour to know him.”

The superstars’ common problem at the European Championship: the tournament is not going well for them personally! Ronaldo only scored in the two penalty shootouts against Slovenia and now France, Mbappé scored once against Poland from a penalty. The quarter-finals continued to be just as disappointing for both captains…

The first half is very heavy football fare, completely devoid of highlights. The superstars in attack don’t have a single shot on goal.
Things get strange in the second half: referee Michael Oliver loses his yellow card while sprinting, and when he returns it, Portugal’s Vitinha jokingly shows him the card. Things get painful for Mbappé, as he gets a header from Silva on the mask he wears because of his broken nose.
Then the game finally picks up speed. First, France goalkeeper Maignan makes strong saves against Fernandes and Vitinha, then Kolo Muani and Camavinga miss two huge chances on the other side. The game goes into extra time goalless, with Ronaldo’s only top chance going way wide. BILD scores 5 for CR7!
For Mbappé, the game is over after just 105 minutes, and Barcola comes in for him. Unlike Ronaldo, however, Mbappé now has at least one more chance to become a hero.
