In one of the first quarter-finals of the European Championship will meet the teams that have not shown themselves so brightly during the past period of the tournament, as some other participants of the EURO. At the time of the meeting Portugal and France will already know the name of the national team, with which the winner of their pair will have to meet in the semifinal confrontation. The Portuguese national team played only one match at the main stage of the championship, which left no doubt about their strength. It took place in the second round of the group stage, but it also highlighted some instability of Turkey, who not only failed in defence in a number of episodes, but also scored into their own net. In the first EURO meeting with the Czechs, the Portuguese snatched victory on 90+2 minutes, losing in the course of the match, and finished the group with a defeat against the sensational Georgians. In the 1/8 finals Roberto Martinez's team faced Slovenia, who had not won a single match in the group. This game more vividly than others exposed one of the key problems of the current Portuguese national team - the lack of the head coach's right to change Ronaldo, no matter how heavy a burden Krish did not become for the team. When the star Portuguese was "deported" from Manchester United before the World Cup, the Mancunians played almost the best in England for several months in a row. Unfortunately, Martinez does not have the authorisation for such a volitional decision, so the "European Brazilians" are not as bright in attack as they could be with a strong personnel potential. The match against Slovenia was brought to a penalty shootout, where the Balkan team failed to successfully shoot once. France has gone undefeated so far, but its performance is not powerful. Over the four matches of the tournament, the world vice-champions have not scored a single goal. Of France's three goals, two have been headed into the net by their opponents, while Mbappe has also scored from the penalty spot. Portugal and France met for the last time at last year's EURO. The third round of the group stage was played in a productive style, but the winner was not revealed 2:2. Most likely, the fight in the match will be persistent, but the French will be able to achieve the final victory.
