Ibrahima Konate’s France edged past Diogo Jota’s Portugal on penalties to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2024 on Friday night.

Both Liverpool players were unused substitutes during the last-eight meeting in Hamburg, which ended without a goal after 120 minutes of play.

It was the French who prevailed in the spot-kick shootout, winning 5-3, and they will now meet Spain in the semi-finals.

Spain defeated Germany 2-1 earlier in the day, with Mikel Merino heading in a 119th-minute winner after Dani Olmo and Florian Wirtz had traded goals during the second half.

That game is set for an 8pm BST kick-off on Tuesday (July 9) and will be played in Munich.
