The quarter-finals of the European Championship kicked off, with Switzerland taking on Italy on the first matchday of the knockout round. Switzerland scored one goal each in the second half, with Freuler and Vargas scoring to eliminate Italy 2-0. In the other game, Germany beat Denmark 2-0, with Kai Havertz scoring from the penalty spot and Musiala doubling the lead. 2 seats were born in the top 8 of the European Cup! The defending champion is out, Portugal is in pain, and it is difficult for Ronaldo to win the championship.
Switzerland knocked France out of the last eight at the last European Championships, and now they have pulled Italy down and left the Azzurri out of the title defense. After the Swiss team qualified, the next round of matches will be played against the winner between England and Slovakia. Germany are in the other half of the bracket and will face either Spain or Georgia in the second round of the knockout round. The Danish team reached the semi-finals of the last European Championship and is in the knockout round of this tournament.
With the German team successfully qualifying, it is a big bad news for the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo. Because if Portugal reach the semi-finals, Germany will be among the potential opponents. Since Cristiano Ronaldo played for Portugal, he has not won against Germany from start to finish, and there has been no draw, but he has suffered a total defeat.
In the 2006 World Cup third-place match, Portugal lost 1-3 to Germany. Euro 2008 quarterfinals, Portugal 2-3 Germany. Euro 2012 group stage, Portugal 0-1 Germany. In the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, Portugal lost 0-4 to Germany. Euro 2021 group stage, Portugal 2-4 Germany. In 5 games, Portugal scored 5 goals and conceded 15 goals, and the gap is indeed huge.
During this period, Ronaldo scored only one goal and provided two assists for Germany. Ronaldo tried his best, but the German team specifically restrained Portugal, allowing Ronaldo's Portuguese team to lose consecutive defeats. It is worth mentioning that the German team is also the bitter host of the Argentine team, Messi has met the German team in the World Cup three times, and lost all of them, including the 2014 World Cup final.
Germany have an advantage against Melo, especially against Portugal, and it can be said that the German team is the last opponent Portugal wants to face. Now that the German team has reached the last eight, they have a good chance of continuing on the road thanks to home advantage. If Portugal meets Germany in the semi-finals, Portugal will be unlucky.
Of course, then again, Portugal may not be able to pass Slovenia (Portugal 0-2 Slovenia in the warm-up match in March), and the top 8 opponents France and Belgium are even more difficult to play, and it is unrealistic for Ronaldo to win the championship.
