Portugal's national football team began the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era with a heavy defeat. In Saturday's Nations League match, it lost 1:4 to Denmark in Braga, suffering its first defeat after a streak of five wins. However, the result changed nothing regarding its progression to the quarterfinals of the competition. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
The match was preceded by a tribute to Ronaldo, who announced on November 5 the end of his tenure with the Portuguese national team. The Portuguese Football Federation prepared a special program tied to his iconic number seven. A minute of applause rang out at the stadium, and a banner tribute to the longtime captain and forward also appeared. Le Figaro ↗
The federation also modified the graphic design of the national team's number seven. During the ceremony, the number appeared in several places in connection with Ronaldo's legacy with the national team. The forty-one-year-old footballer ended his international career following a recent conflict with coach Jorge Jesus. tnlive.sk (Markíza) ↗
Portugal entered the match as the defending trophy holder, but after the break it was unable to respond to Denmark's pressure and conceded four goals. The defeat also complicated the situation in Group A of the Nations League and affected the race for other placements. The Portuguese team now awaits the quarterfinals, in which it will continue without the player who had for many years been its most prominent offensive figure. sport.sk ↗
