The match that De la Fuente’s squad faced in the quarterfinals was the most challenging one they faced during the tournament. Like the Spaniards, many people picked Germany to win this Euro. Therefore, their first meeting could not possibly be dull. So it came to pass: a fascinating battle in which the Red Fury strayed from their usual dominating approach, sometimes settling for second place and limiting their opponents’ progress. The effort paid off with a tough 2-1 victory in overtime.
Against Portugal, France didn’t exactly rock the boat. The French are known to be cautious and adapt their game to each opponent’s strengths and weaknesses throughout this competition. Even though the Portuguese often play aggressively, they knew who they were against here. Because of this, we saw cautious performances from both teams, typical of Deschamps’ squad in recent encounters. After 120 minutes of scoreless play, the match went to a penalty shootout, with France emerging victorious.
