Portugal's Euro 2024 Journey Ends in Heartbreak

Portugal's hopes of winning Euro 2024 were dashed on Friday as they lost to France in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinal at Volksparkstadion Hamburg. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with France winning the shootout 5-3.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had given Portugal the lead in the 17th minute, missed his penalty in the shootout, and France sealed their victory when Kingsley Coman converted his spot-kick.

Portugal's defeat marked the end of a successful tournament for the team. They had won all three of their group matches and had played well in the knockout rounds.
