Portugal narrowly defeated Slovenia (0-0, 3-0 on penalties) in the quarter-finals: after the match, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed that this would be his last Euro, the competition he won in 2016 against France.
« Making people happy is what motivates me the most. The fact that this is my last Euro doesn’t make me emotional. It’s more the feeling of joy I feel when I see my supporters, my family, and the affection they have for me, » CR7 said on RTP after the match.
Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo will have played his sixth and final Euro with Portugal in 2024. The next opponent, coming up next, will be… France. It’s a rematch of the 2016 final for the French. « It will be a tough match, they are the favorites for the title, » CR7 remarked.
