So far, the European Championship has played 6 knockout games, of which Portugal and France have reached the quarterfinals, and these two favorites will meet next, which means that only one of the two teams will reach the semi-finals.
In fact, the Franco-Portuguese clash was almost over, as Portugal narrowly missed to Slovenia. In the game, Ronaldo wasted many chances and almost became the sinner of the Portuguese team, but goalkeeper Costa stepped up and saved Ronaldo and the whole team.
In the last 1 minute of regular time, Ronaldo got a single chance, if he could score the ball, he had a good chance to kill the opponent, but in the face of Oblak, Ronaldo's shot was ruthlessly blocked, and then the game went into extra time.
In the 105th minute, Jota scored a penalty in the penalty area to create a foul and win a penalty for Portugal, and Ronaldo decided to take the penalty. After taking a deep breath, Ronaldo started running, and he activated with the desire of hundreds of millions of Portuguese fans around the world, only to see that he was very confident, and aimed a shot at the bottom left corner of the goalkeeper, only to be met by Oblak and finally the penalty was saved. Seeing this result, Ronaldo couldn't help but cry on the spot.
Fortunately, Slovenia have a top goalkeeper like Oblak and Portugal also have Costa. The Porto goalkeeper was a god in extra time, not only blocking Sesco's lone knife, but also saving three penalties in a row, and finally Portugal defeated Slovenia 3-0 in the penalty shootout and advanced to the quarter-finals.
After this 3-0, the focus of the French team and the Portuguese team was staged as scheduled, and this game will become Ronaldo's last game in the European Championship at any time. The Portuguese superstar has personally confirmed that this will be his last 1 European Cup, the next game, Ronaldo will not play, 39-year-old him, finally low age arrogant head, this moment of Ronaldo, helpless, sad, and reluctant, but even if Ronaldo is stubborn, he can't ignore the negative impact of age on him. If it was 10 years ago, how could Ronaldo miss a single knife and a penalty in succession?
However, even if he loses to France next, Ronaldo has no regrets in the European Championship, because before that, he has led the team to one championship and one runner-up, in addition to the player with the most appearances, starts and goals in the European Championship. However, I believe that Ronaldo will persist until the 2026 World Cup, this is the last obsession of his career, if he can win the cup in 2 years, Ronaldo's career will be complete!
