Czech Republic defeated Portugal 1-0 at the quarter-final stage of Euro 1996, thanks to the now-famous Karel Poborsky scoop goal.

In the other of their two previous European Championship meetings, Portugal defeated the Czech Republic 3-1 in the group stages in 2008 - a game that Cristiano Ronaldo scored in.

Portugal have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last ten matches at a European Championship.

The Czech Republic have scored a goal in 12 of their last 13 European Championship matches.

On the previous two occasions that the Czech Republic have played a quarter-final match at the European Championship, they have won without conceding a goal.

Portugal have made it to the knockout stages of the European Championship every time they have been present (six times).

Cristiano Ronaldo attempted a total of 12 shots against the Netherlands, the most by a single player in a single game at the European Championship (1980-2012).

Ronaldo became the first Portuguese player to score at five different major tournaments (Euro 2004, World Cup 2006, Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012).

The Czech Republic won their group, becoming the first side to win a group at the European Championship with a negative goal difference (-1).

Only Peter Schmeichel (20) has conceded more goals at the European Championship than Petr Cech (15).

Portugal have already hit the woodwork four times at Euro 2012, only three sides have ever hit it five times at the European Championship.
