On July 5, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe will face off in an exciting quarterfinal match at Euro 2024 in Hamburg. This clash isn't just about Portugal versus France; it's a showdown between football's legendary past and its promising future. With a history of intense matchups in the last three Euros, this game is set to be thrilling.

The French team has remarkably made it to the quarterfinals without scoring a single goal from open play. They beat Austria with an own goal, drew with the Netherlands without scoring, and tied with Poland thanks to a penalty from Kylian Mbappe. Even their Round of 16 win over Belgium came from a deflected goal!

Portugal, with veterans like Ronaldo and Pepe, started strong but ended their group stage with a goalless draw against Slovenia and a penalty shootout win. Despite having the potential to be highly productive, both the team and Ronaldo underperformed. Ronaldo, for instance, missed a crucial penalty in the 105th minute of extra time against Slovenia, adding to the disappointment.

Now, both teams are ready for a high-stakes battle, with France aiming to reclaim their former glory and Portugal eager to prove their dominance. The personal rivalry between Ronaldo and Mbappe adds extra intrigue, making this one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament.

• Portugal win: 3.45
• Draw: 3.00
• France win: 2.36
