Here's how France reached the semi-final

France secured a nail-biting win over Portugal via penalties, which marked a bitter end to Cristiano Ronaldo's Euro 2024 journey. After a stalemate throughout the game, the match again found its way to the spot-kicks, but this time it was France who had the last laugh. There were very few factors to separate the two sides, but Joao Felix's penalty hitting the post sent Kylian Mbappe's side to the semi-final against Spain on July 10.

Here's how Spain knocked out Germany

It was heartbreak for Toni Kroos whose dream comeback was spoilt by Spain as they scored their winning goal in extra time on Friday, 5 July. Spain banked on their attacking mid-fielders as Dani Olmo and Mikel Merino scored two crucial goals for Spain who won the quarter-final match by a slender margin of 2-1 at Stuttgart's MHPArena. Germany tried to move mountains in the second half and then in the extra time to get ahead of Spain in the quarter-final fixture, but the Spanish side showed exceptional grit to keep their heads above the water amidst an incredible attacking wave from the Germans.
