A night to forget for Portugal, who yesterday bid farewell to the final stage of "Euro 2024", after being eliminated by France on penalties, as the 0-0 score had lasted 120 minutes. And for Cristiano Ronaldo, who started Portugal's five games in the tournament (Czech Republic, Turkey, Georgia, Slovenia and France), this European Championship will also not be engraved in his memory.
This is because for the first time in his entire career he participated in a continental tournament without scoring in any match. There was only one assist for the record, for Bruno Fernandes, in the match against Turkey, in Dortmund.
Yesterday could be the last appearance in a European, as he himself said, he does not believe that he will be able to participate in the next tournament, which will be played after four years in Great Britain.
GOODBYE PEPE – As Ronaldo keeps some hopes for another World Cup, Pepe (comforted for a long time by his captain), seems to stop his readiness for the national team.
Very disappointed after yesterday's elimination, the defender did not want to comment on his decision, but in the statement given at the end of the challenge with France, he clarified that the disappointment is very great.
"The disappointment is very big. We would have liked another result and we fought until the end. It doesn't matter if Felix was wrong, as this is a team that shares victories and defeats within itself.
I will speak in another moment about my future, but I always thought that this would be the end of my service to the country. I would have liked a different ending, but football is like that. We leave the European Championship with our heads held high and I think we have honored the fans", he said.
