After a chaotic final matchday, Portugal ultimately secured a third-place finish in Group F, courtesy of a 2-2 draw with France. Fernando Santos’ team started well by putting three past Hungary but, with the aforementioned draw against Les Bleus and a 4-0 thrashing by Germany, Portugal’s form has spiralled downwards slightly. They do, however, have European Championship history, having triumphed most recently in 2016, while making it to the semi-finals in both 2000 and 2012 alongside a runners-up spot at Euro 2004.

Belgium coasted to this stage of the tournament, dispatching of Russia, Denmark and Finland to top Group B.
