The Portugal National Football Team is going to face a tough challenge as they take on the France National Football Team in the UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-final. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co were unable to score a single goal in the normal or even in the extra time during the Portugal vs Slovenia Euro 2024 round of 16 match. As a result, the match went into the penalty shootout phase where CR7, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva scored a spot kick each. Diogo Costa saved all the penalties taken by Slovenia players and hence Portugal won the match on penalties. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo Miss Respective Penalties in Space of A Week at Continental Championship Knock-Out Matches.

Portugal manager Roberto Martinez will favour Ronaldo as a striker for the Portugal vs France match. The 39-year-old will be looking to score his first goal of UEFA Euro 2024.

Despite lacking some touch CR7 can turn out to be the main man for Portugal. Portugal will also look to up their attacking game and penetrate through the defence of Kylian Mbappe's France.
