For many, Portugal vs Czechia means one thing - Cristiano Ronaldo arriving at Euro 2024. His side is expected to win Group F and will be keen to make a statement in their opening match.
Ronaldo is far from the only star available to manager Roberto Martinez. His squad includes Liverpool’s Diogo Jota, Man City’s Ruben Dias and Bruno Fernandes of Man Utd, amongst others. They should go far in this tournament but will need to play as a side, not just focus on the main man.
Czechia had a bit of a chaotic build-up to this tournament, with manager Jaroslav Silhavy resigning shortly after securing qualification. It is then Ivan Hasek who will lead the team in Germany. On the pitch, they are led by West Ham’s Tomas Soucek. The squad also features Patrik Schick and Adam Hlozek of the (almost) invincible Bayer Leverkusen. If their opponents are expected to win the group, the Czechs will expect to take second place and qualify alongside them.
This match could be one of the final times we see Ronaldo at a major international tournament. With their uncompromising midfield, Hašek and his players will be trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible for him and the rest of the Portuguese talent on display. We’ve seen upsets already, and this could be another.
Here’s how they line up.
Portugal: Costa, Dalot, Pepe, Dias, Cancelo, Silva, Fernandes, Vitinha, Mendes, Ronaldo, Leao
Czechia: Stanek, Holes, Hranac, Krejci, Coufal, Sulc, Soucek, Provod, Doudera, Kuchta, Schick
