The reigning champions of the 2016 European tournament are on their way to another major competition in impressive fashion, maintaining a flawless record throughout their qualifying campaign. Roberto Martinez took over the managerial responsibilities for Portugal following a disappointing performance at the 2022 World Cup, and his impact has been immediate.
Martinez benefits significantly from having star players such as Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, and Rafael Leao at his disposal. Together, they have orchestrated a remarkable journey towards Euro 2024, securing 30 points from 10 games.
Ronaldo is delighted to have played his part in those history-making efforts by Portugal, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner posting on Instagram after seeing a perfect record maintained in a 2-0 victory over Iceland: “Historic clearance, 100% victorious! Congratulations Portugal.”
Portugal demonstrated their dominance in Group J against rivals Slovakia, Luxembourg, Iceland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Lichtenstein. Scoring an impressive 36 goals in 10 matches while conceding only two, they are poised to contend for the ultimate prize as the European Championship returns to Germany next summer.
