The Portuguese national team and its captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, bid farewell to the European Cup on Friday evening, after a painful loss on penalties to the French national team.

After a "monotonous" match for most of its time, which ended with a score of 0-0, the "French Roosters" succeeded in defeating Portugal, on penalties.
France scored 5 almost perfect penalty kicks, while Portugal's João Felix missed the only kick, leaving Portugal out of the tournament.
With this difficult victory, France qualified for the semi-finals of Euro 2024, where it will face Spain.
After the match, Portuguese defender Pepe, 41 years old, who was playing in his last continental championship, collapsed and his tears flowed after a wonderful performance during the match.
Pepe went to Ronaldo, who comforted and embraced him, in a touching shot that brought together the game's greats, as they bid farewell to the last Euro tournament they were competing in.
Ronaldo had announced that he would not participate in the next Euro Championship, and that the current tournament would be his last.
