The Portuguese national team is on the verge of qualifying for the European Cup finals scheduled to be held in Germany in the summer of 2024, with its victory over Luxembourg today at the Algarve Stadium in Faro.
Portugal played an easy test in Faro against Luxembourg, which lost at home to the European “Seleção” 6-0 last March, including a brace by Ronaldo.
Under the leadership of its new Spanish coach, Roberto Martinez, Portugal defeated all of its competitors in the qualifiers, leading Group Ten with 18 points from six consecutive victories, moving it 5 points behind Slovakia. Luxembourg’s score was frozen at 10 points in third place, followed by Bosnia and Iceland. 6 points, and Liechtenstein is at the bottom of the tenth group without points.
With Martinez’s arrival to succeed Fernando Santos, Ronaldo regained his place in the national team’s starting lineup after losing it during the Qatar World Cup at the end of last year, when his and his teammates’ career ended in the quarter-finals at the hands of Morocco.
