Pierre Gasly and GF Kika Turned Foes for 120 Minutes While France Sent Ronaldo’s Men Packing From Euros

The Euro 2024 quarterfinal between France and Portugal had Pierre Gasly and his girlfriend, Kika Cerqueira Gomes, cheering for different teams. This match turned the loving couple into temporary rivals for a little over 120 minutes.

Since Gasly is French and Gomes is Portuguese, their support for their respective national teams was natural. Despite being on opposite sides, the couple kept things light and playful.

They shook hands like pros before the game started, showing their mutual respect and love. Gasly showed his support by wearing the French team’s shirt with Mbappe’s name on the back. Meanwhile, Kika donned a Portugal hat and muffler, cheering for her team.

This game might have marked the end of an era for two football legends: Cristiano Ronaldo (39) and Pepe (41). Both played crucial roles in the tournament.

Ronaldo was on the field for every important match, and Pepe set a record as the oldest player in European Championship history. Their futures with the national team are uncertain, as Portugal’s manager Roberto Martinez hinted that their international careers might be over.

Despite the intense match, Gasly and Gomes’ relationship remains strong. Their friendly rivalry added a fun twist to the game, showing that love and sports can mix even when you’re rooting for different teams.
