Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal against the Czech Republic in the final match of the first round of group matches of Euro 2024 in Germany.
The unexpected decision to field Roberto Martinez over Ronaldo has seen the Seleção cement their reputation as one of the competition's favourites. The Portuguese have one of the most talented squads in the tournament, with a balance of experience from players such as Ronaldo, Pepe, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva – mixed with the exciting talent of youngsters such as Goncalo Inacio, Rafael Leao and Joao Neves.
Although they won Euro 2016, Seleção Having lost to Greece on home soil in the 2004 final, they are looking to add another trophy to their disappointingly empty trophy cabinet.
The Czech Republic will go into the tournament with low expectations despite a stellar showing at Euro 2020, where Patrik Schick finished as joint top scorer and lost to Denmark in the quarter-finals. They will hope for a similarly strong performance this time around, with the added experience of players such as Tomas Soucek and Adam Holczek potentially crucial.
