Portugal eliminated in Euro 2024 semis after penalty shootout loss to France

France advance to the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after a 5-3 penalty shootout win over Portugal following a 0-0 draw through 120 minutes.

France will face Spain in the semi-finals, leaving Portugal's hopes of a second straight European Championship title in tatters. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams having chances to win it in regulation and extra time. In the end, it was France who held their nerve in the shootout, with Kylian Mbappe scoring the winning penalty.

The result is a major blow to Portugal, who were looking to become the first team to win three consecutive European Championships. It is also a disappointment for Cristiano Ronaldo, who was playing in his last major tournament for Portugal. Ronaldo missed a penalty in the shootout, which would have given Portugal a chance to win the game.

France, meanwhile, will be buoyed by the victory. They are now one step closer to winning their third European Championship title, a feat they would achieve by beating Spain
