(sabasports report)Portugal will now face France in the last eight of the European Championship after knocking out Slovenia 3-0. If Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo both play, it will be the fifth time they have played each other. If both play at the same time, France could face a challenge. Why do you say that?
Statistics show that Ronaldo has played with Mbappe four times before, and Ronaldo has won three games and drawn one, and scored five goals, while Mbappe has never won or scored. That said, Mbappe has a poor record against Ronaldo.
In this case, the French team may face a dilemma. Mbappe may be psychologically disturbed by respect when facing his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, and unable to devote himself to the game. This may result in him not being able to play at full strength, thus affecting France’s attacking performance. If Mbappe fails to perform well, France’s goal security will suffer and the team could eventually be eliminated by Portugal.
