This is our assessment of Portugal’s loss on penalties against France, who will be Spain’s rivals in the semi-finals.
DIOGO COSTA Disappointing
After his recital on penalties against Slovenia, he didn’t hit a single against France.
JOAO CANCELO used to
As usual, he was flamboyant in attack and created several chances as a result of his skill. He was substituted in the 74th minute after suffering a counterattack.
RUBEN DAYS Chief
He is confident at the back and leads the defense alongside Pepe.
PEPE Infinite
Another game showed once again that age is a number. He stopped giants like Mbappé and Dembélé even with speed. The mind is sometimes more important than the legs.
NUNO MENDES misfortune
He gets it to 120 and sends it into the hands of Maignan.
VITINHA Genius
The best occasions are born from his feet.
PLEASE Bland
He didn’t take the slightest risk and lacked spark.
BRUNO FERNANDES Arrival
He was close to the goal, coming from behind and finishing first, only to be stopped by Maignan.
BERNARDO SILVA Mistakes
He tried, but failed more than usual.
CRISTIANO RONALDO Insistent
He tried it a thousand ways with no luck. He scored in the shootout.
RAFAEL LEAO Rocket
He tries every time the ball comes to him and goes down the left with no one stopping him. He could have scored in the first half of overtime, but Upamecano blocked his shot.
THE CHANGES
SEMEDO suffering
He came out for Cancelo and struggled with the pace of the Frenchman, but he didn’t come out hurt.
CONCEIÇAO Agitator
He came off the bench and gave Portugal’s attack a different look. With his dry cuts he did damage and gave CR7 a goal that was almost over, but the captain sent it into the clouds.
NEVES That’s right
He did everything well, without limitation.
JOAO FELIX Indicated
He missed the penalty that knocked Portugal out.
NUNES Testimonials
He had no time to contribute anything.
