On July 6 at 03:00, Portugal faced France in the quarterfinals of the UEFA European Championship. The match ended in a goalless 120-minute draw, with Portugal eventually losing 3-5 in the penalty shootout, ending their run in the quarterfinals.
In this match, the 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo started and played the entire game, also converting his penalty in the shootout. However, he couldn’t guide his team to the semifinals.
Sadly, Ronaldo failed to score in the 120 minutes. Early in extra time, he had a golden opportunity, but his shot went high over the stand, missing the chance to seal the victory.
Given Ronaldo’s age, it might well have been his last Euro appearance for Portugal.
