Tournament favorites France have ended Cristiano Ronaldo's European Championship career and dramatically reached the semi-finals against Germany's conquerors Spain. In the clash of the superstars, Kylian Mbappé's France beat Ronaldo's Portugal 5:3 on penalties in Hamburg on Friday evening. No goals were scored in regular time or extra time.

The 39-year-old record player and record goalscorer Ronaldo, who scored from the spot in the decider, had already announced before the match that he would no longer be taking part in the next European Championships in Great Britain and Ireland in 2028. João Félix hit the ball against the post in the penalty shoot-out.

France's leader Mbappé, on the other hand, can continue to hope for France's third European Championship title after 1984 and 2000 with the Équipe Tricolore and will face the Spaniards in Munich on Tuesday (21:00), who had previously defeated hosts Germany 2:1 after extra time.
