Having qualified for the quarter-finals without shining, the French team will face Portugal on Friday July 5 in the quarter-finals of the Euro.
A remake of the Euro 2016 final, lost by the Blues, to follow live with commentary on TF1info, live on M6 and beIN SPORTS 1 from 9 p.m.
On the road that should take them to Berlin on July 14, the Blues make a stop in Hamburg. After having snatched their ticket for the quarterfinals, by eliminating Belgium (1-0), Monday July 1, Didier Deschamps’ men are only two games away from achieving their objective. But the road to the Berlin capital is still full of obstacles.
Friday July 5 (at 9 p.m., live commentary on TF1info, also to be followed live on television on M6 and beIN SPORTS 1), the French team will challenge Portugal for a place in the last four of the Euro. A Selection who painfully defeated Slovenia (0-0 ap, 3-0 pen), at the end of a penalty shootout where their goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, put on his superhero costume, saving all three Slovenian shots.
For the youngest among us, this France-Portugal will, of course, evoke the sad final of Euro 2016, lost at home against “CR7’s” compatriots (1-0, aet). For the oldest, on the other hand, the match will call upon much happier memories, with the semi-finals of Euro 1984 and then Euro 2000, won respectively by “Platoche’s” gang (3-2 aet) and by “Zizou” and his friends (2-1). It remains to be seen on which side the coin will land this time.
