The Portugal National Football Team is the first-ever winner of the UEFA Nations League when Cristiano Ronaldo’s side won the title in 2018. Since then a lot has been changed and looking at the side’s current performance at the UEFA Euro 2024 competition, coach Roberto Martinez might look to make some major changes in the side. When asked about Cristiano Ronaldo’s chances to feature in the side, Roberto Martinez said, “Cristiano is no longer the player he was 10 years ago, he has more experience now. He is important for the national team. Cristiano Ronaldo is our leader.” Trusting Ronaldo’s abilities, Martinez showed full support to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. While Ronaldo has shown interest to play in the FIFA World Cup 2026, his inclusion in the UEFA Nations League matches remains a question.
