After a disappointing end to the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament, the Portugal National Football Team will turn its attention to the UEFA Nations League 2024 competition. The side was seen as a potential contender in the Euro competition but couldn’t deliver on the big stage. In search of their third international trophy, the Portugal Football Team will look to clinch the Nations League title. The Portugal side won the inaugural tournament – back in 2019 where Cristiano Ronaldo led the side to glory. Five years later, at the age of 39 -will he do it again is the main question though.

In the two matches played so far in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 tournament, the Portugal side was still reliant on Cristiano Ronaldo's goals. The star scored in both matches and helped them secure 2-1 victories over Croatia and then Scotland during the September international break. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner extended his record as the country’s top goal scorer to 132 goals now. Yet looking at the tight domestic schedules and final group match of the tournament, Roberto Martinez might be tempted to rest his star player. This raises a question regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s availability in the Poland vs Portugal UEFA Nations League 2024-25 Match.

Many criticised the Al-Nassr star for his performance in the UEFA Euro tournament but Ronaldo silenced them with a strong comeback in the Nations League competition and delivered for his country. Considering the team’s current position in the group and upcoming knock-out stage matches, Roberto Martinez will surely limit Ronaldo’s game time but we can expect Ronaldo to be part of Poland vs Portugal UEFA Nations League 2024-25 starting XI.
