Prediction: 1-1
Portugal
All eyes will be on Estadio Wanda Metropolitano when Spain and Portugal face each other in a pre-EURO friendly. La Roja have big ambitions for the upcoming showpiece tournament, but many football experts believe that Real Madrid captain is going to be sorely missed. For the first time ever, there are no Real Madrid players in Spain’s squad, with Luis Enrique counting on a number of talented footballers.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Leipzig star Dani Olmo, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Portugal, on the other hand, will be without injured attacker Pedro Neto in Friday’s friendly. Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line for the visitors, and given the attacking potential of the two sides, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes will be yet another man to watch in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Ramos):
Over the years Sergio Ramos has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world. The Spanish footballer was born in Camas on 30 March, 1986 and he is a product of Sevilla’s youth academy. He made 39 league appearances for Sevilla and he played 26 games for the reserve team as well from 2003 to 2005.
In the summer of 2005 Sergio Ramos signed a deal with Real Madrid for a fee of €27 million and it has to be noted that he made 33 appearances for the capital club in the 2005/2006 La Liga campaign. The 183-cm-tall full back is capable of playing as a right back as well and, as a result, he often scores for Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos helped Real Madrid win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016) and he has three La Liga titles with los Blancos. The Spanish defender won the 2010 FIFA World Cup with la Furia Roja, while clinching Euro 2008 and 2010 titles with the Spanish national team as well.
Highlighted Team (Portugal):
Portugal started competing at the biggest stage in the 1930’s, but they had to wait for almost seventy years to establish themselves as a top side. The third place finish at the 1966 World Cup was a one-off result as the Selecao needed another 40 years to get past the group stage, reaching the semi-finals at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Portugal enjoyed more success on the continent, finishing third at the 1984, 2000 and 2012 European Championships, while losing in the final to Greece at the Euro 2004 that was held on home soil. Despite being able to count on one of world’s best ever footballers Cristiano Ronaldo, the Selecao have yet to lift a major trophy and they will not have too many opportunities to do so before the Real Madrid superstar retires.
Eusebio remains the most famous footballer to have played for Portugal, while Luis Figo, Simao Sabrosa, Pedro Pauleta, Rui Costa and Nani are also worth mention. The Selecao currently boast an impressive pool of world-class talent and it should not be long before they end the trophy drought.
