In the early morning of July 2, Beijing time, there were two fierce battles in the knockout rounds of the European Cup. With the own gift from the opponent, the French team was lucky to defeat Belgium 1-0 and reached the last eight of the European Championship for the first time in eight years. Portugal defeated Slovenia 3-0 in a brutal penalty shootout and successfully met France in the quarter-finals.

As a football powerhouse that has reached the World Cup final twice in a row, the French team has naturally become the favorite to win this European Championship. Whether it is industry experts or ordinary fans, many people are optimistic that they will have the last laugh and win the Delaunay Cup for the third time in the team's history. However, in the group stage, the French team only qualified as the second in the group, so in the 1/8 finals, they had to meet the world's third-ranked Belgium team in advance.

Before the game, countless fans thought that this game would be a wonderful head-to-head battle, but the reality is that the two teams have given a good dose of medicine for insomniac. Throughout the game, both sides played unhurriedly, but luck was on the side of the French team. In the 85th minute, Muani's unthreatening shot from inside the box hit Belgian centre-back Vertonghen and bounced into the back of the net, and with this own goal, France eliminated Belgium 1-0 and successfully reached the last eight.

followed by the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo, and their opponent was the dark horse Slovenia. If you only look at the strength on paper, there is undoubtedly a huge gap between the two teams, but in the world of football, strength on paper does not determine the outcome of the game. Relying on a tenacious defense, Slovenia and Portugal battled for 120 minutes to keep the goal intact.

In extra time, Portugal also won a penalty, but Ronaldo's penalty was saved by the correctly judged Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak, and Portugal missed the best chance to change the score.

However, in the subsequent penalty shootout, it ushered in a turnaround, Portugal goalkeeper Costa saved three penalties in succession, and the Portuguese team was out of the box. In the end, through a brutal penalty shootout, Portugal defeated Slovenia 3-0 and reached the quarterfinals without danger!

With the end of this match, six teams in this European Championship have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Among them, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal and England are the five favorites to win the championship, all of which passed smoothly, and only the defending champion Italy lost to the Swiss team and unfortunately stopped in the round of 16.

On the final matchday, Romania, the Netherlands, Austria and Turkey will fight for a place in the quarter-finals.
