Cristiano Ronaldo and Euro 2016 champions Portugal will be hoping to bounce back from their group stage defeat and regroup for Monday's last-16 tie against Slovenia in Frankfurt.
The top spot in Group F was a foregone conclusion, with Portugal losing 2-0 to Georgia, which left them with a loss of confidence and unable to reach the knockout stages. But from a competitive point of view, defeat doesn't matter, and now the real meaningful game has arrived.
Ronaldo is yet to score at Euro 2024, but he has already contributed a goal and is the player with the most assists in European Championship history. He has earned praise for his altruistic performances, but Portugal will need him to take their chances if they are to progress to the final stages of the competition.
