Ronaldo Anticipates Tough Battle as Portugal Set to Face France in Euro 2024 Quarterfinal

Portugal‘s talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo, is gearing up for a challenging clash as his national team is poised to tackle France in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals.

The thrilling encounter comes on the heels of Portugal’s hard-fought victory over Slovenia in the round of 16, setting the stage for Ronaldo and his squad to face off against Kylian Mbappe‘s formidable France at the iconic Volksparkstadion in Hamburg on Friday.

Speaking at a post-match press briefing on Monday, Ronaldo acknowledged the formidable challenge ahead, labeling France as one of the top contenders in the tournament.

Expressing his determination, Ronaldo stated, “We’re going to have a tough game now against France, which is one of the favorites to win. But we go to war, the team is fine, and I will always do my best with this sweater.”
