Portugal's coach, Roberto Martinez, expressed disappointment at football's cruelty after his team's elimination from Euro 2024 due to Joao Felix missing a penalty against France.

Cristiano Ronaldo's future with the national team remains uncertain after Portugal's exit, with suggestions that his international career might be over, despite his contract with Al-Nassr until 2025. Martinez's decision to consistently support Ronaldo during Euro 2024 has faced criticism, questioning his team's reliance on the aging superstar. Despite the defeat to France, Martinez highlighted the team's growth and praised veteran player Pepe for his exemplary performance and leadership.
