The Portugal vs France live stream looks set to be a thrilling quarter-final between two sides stacked with quality players — and you can watch it from anywhere
Portugal topped Group F with little trouble winning all three games, but their progression to this quarter-final match was anything but smooth. Captain and talismanic forward Cristiano Ronaldo was left in literal tears when he failed to convert a penalty in extra time against Slovenia, but goalkeeper Diogo Costa was on hand to play the hero by making three consecutive saves in the ensuing shootout, setting up this exciting quarter-final clash.
Meanwhile, France’s journey at Euro 2024 has also been surprisingly dramatic. Les Bleus were considered by many the pre-tournament favorites but only managed a second-placed finish in Group D thanks to draws with the Netherlands and Poland. Their win over Belgium in the Round of 16 wasn’t especially convincing either. France won 1-0 thanks to a Jan Vertonghen own-goal with just five minutes remaining, but the side need to find another gear quickly, or they could face an exit at this stage.

Portugal team news
Martinez could go ahead with an unchanged line-up despite his men enduring 120 minutes of football on Monday.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be raring to score his first goal at Euro 2024, with Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao ahead of the likes of Diogo Jota and Francisco Conceicao in the pecking order to feature in attack.
Joao Palhinha and Vitinha are expected to keep their spots in the middle.
Portugal possible XI: Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Palhinha, Vitinha; Silva, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo.
France team news
France boss Didier Deschamps will be forced into making a certain change as Adrien Rabiot will serve a one-match ban after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament in the Belgium win.
Ousmane Dembele, Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana and Warren Zaire-Emery are all in contention to replace Rabiot in the XI.
Kingsley Coman has taken leave for the birth of his child, while Marcus Thuram emerges a doubt on account of a knock.
As such, Randan Kolo Muani is in line to lead the line, with Kylian Mbappe joining from the left wing.
France possible XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Kolo Muani.
Two of the biggest soccer stars in the world face off for the chance to move on to the Semi-Finals of Europe’s biggest soccer tournament. Sold yet?
Even if you don’t follow the sport religiously, we’d be willing to bet that you’ve heard of Portugal’s 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the biggest soccer stars on the planet, who currently plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr. We’d also wager that you’re familiar with France’s star, runner-up to the 2022 World Cup, Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old phenom, and heir apparent to Ronaldo’s worldwide fame.
The winner will meet either Spain or Germany in a heavyweight semi-final just days later.
Selecao were taken all the way to penalties by Slovenia, after Cristiano Ronaldo saw a spot-kick in extra time saved. Diogo Costa saved all three Slovenia penalties in a remarkable shootout display.
Les Bleus, hours earlier, also left it late but managed to overcome Belgium in normal time. It proved another slightly underwhelming performance from Les Bleus but Randal Kolo Muani’s strike deflected off Jan Vertonghen to break Belgian hearts.
A bruising and exhausting 120-plus minutes will have taken their toll on Portugal, just four days before this huge quarter-final tie.
Selecao were unimpressive in attack and midfield, which may prompt head coach Roberto Martinez into some tinkering. In defence, can 41-year-old Pepe be ready for Kylian Mbappe after such short a break?
Didier Deschamps brought Antoine Griezmann back into the starting lineup against Belgium, so it seems likely he will continue.
Kylian Mbappe will carry on wearing his mask, though Adrien Rabiot is suspended after picking up another yellow card.
A France player is yet to score from open play after four games, relying on one penalty and two own goals thus far, and the Selecao defence, including Pepe, is proving a tough nut to crack.
The 39-year-old striker has taken more shots than any other player at Euro 2024 so far, but is yet to find the back of the net. France’s own talisman has had struggles of his own, although Kylian Mbappé has been playing with a broken nose.
Les Bleus have struggled for goals in general. Two of their three at Euro 2024 have been scored by members of the opposition. At this point they won’t mind too much so long as they’re still winning games, but so far they haven’t looked much like potential champions.
Portugal had arguably the most dramatic of routes into the last eight of the teams contesting the quarterfinals, after being taken to penalties by underdogs Slovenia.
The Portuguese were involved in, arguably, the most dramatic last-16 tie as they needed a shootout to get the better of Slovenia after Cristiano Ronaldo had a controversial penalty saved in the second half of extra time.
The extra 30 minutes on Monday means Portugal boss Roberto Martinez could have fitness concerns over a number of players including veteran defender Pepe, although they take on a France side that has been desperately disappointing in Germany.
In addition to failing to top Group D, Didier Deschamps' side have scored just three goals, with two being by opposition players and the other a penalty converted by masked marksman Kylian Mbappé.
Portugal or France, who will be without suspended midfielder Adrien Rabiot, will face the winner of the quarter-final tie between Spain and Germany at the Allianz Arena next Tuesday.
Didier Deschamps’ men have managed to reach the last-eight without scoring a goal from open play. Two own goals and a Kylian Mbappe penalty have been enough to get them through testing matches against Austria, the Netherlands, Poland and Belgium. Their narrow win over Belgium in the last-16 lacked quality and excitement though the French will take heart from several missed opportunities and the fact Mbappe is due to rediscover his form since sustaining a broken nose.
In comparison, Portugal needed to come through a penalty shootout to defeat Slovenia in the round of 16. Roberto Martinez’s team struggled to create openings in their first knockout match with Cristiano Ronaldo in particular squandering good opportunities, including missing a penalty in extra-time.
The match will be a battle of generations with Mbappe taking on Ronaldo yet both sides will know improvements are needed if they hope to get the job done tonight.
