France won the contest 5-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regulation and extra time. Cristiano Ronaldo, who played the full 120 minutes and scored his penalty, expressed his support for Félix in a statement: “João is a young and talented player, and these moments are part of football. We all go through this at some point in our careers. He will learn and grow from this experience.”

Theo Hernandez scored France’s fifth penalty, securing victory and eliminating the need for a tenth and final penalty from Portugal. France advanced to the semi-finals, where they will face Spain, after eliminating Germany. Ronaldo, who is 39, has hinted that this could be his last major international competition, and many are wondering if this is the last time we will see him wearing the Portugal shirt at a major tournament.

“I always do my best for my country, and although this result is difficult to accept, I am proud of our team and our effort,” said Ronaldo. France, in turn, survived the penalty shootout without their star and captain Kylian Mbappé, who was substituted after 105 minutes of play. As Portugal says goodbye to the tournament, eyes now turn to the next stage, where France will seek glory against Spain.

With this outcome, the Portuguese fans are grateful for the dedication of their players and especially the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to inspire generations with his passion and tireless determination.
