Portugal entered the 2024 UEFA European Championship under Roberto Martínez with high expectations, featuring a mix of experienced stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and rising talents such as João Félix. They were drawn into a competitive group with the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Georgia. Portugal opened with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva. They followed that with a dominant 3-0 win over Turkey, but their momentum faltered with a shocking 2-0 loss to Georgia in their final group game. Despite the setback, they advanced to the knockout stage as group winners.
In the Round of 16, Portugal faced Slovenia in a tense match that ended 0-0 after extra time. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa proved to be the hero in the penalty shootout, saving three penalties to secure Portugal’s advancement. However, their journey ended heartbreakingly in the quarter-finals against France. In another goalless draw, Portugal succumbed 5-3 in a penalty shootout, with the French capitalizing on their opportunities.
