Portugal host Iceland in their final Group J match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers in Lisbon on Sunday 19 November.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates qualified for next summer’s tournament in Germany by finishing top of their group.
Roberto Martinez’s side are ranked sixth in the world and have won all their qualifying matches so far. Their most recent win came against Liechtenstein on Thursday, with Ronaldo scoring again.
Although the result of this game is almost meaningless – Iceland fail to qualify through Group J – Ronaldo will likely want to be involved so that he can continue his excellent form in 2023.
Sporting News details the key takeaways from a match that will see Portugal aim to maintain a 100% winning record in this qualifying campaign.
