Portugal is yet to secure their place for the FIFA 2022 World Cup. As it finished second behind Serbia in Group B of the World Cup Qualifiers.

In their last meeting, Serbia took the match away from Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal by a goal. Aleksandar Mitrovic found the net in stoppage time to ensure their participation in FIFA World Cup 2022. Portugal needed a draw for direct qualification but their hopes were shattered with the winner in the dying minutes of the game.

"Football has shown us time and again that sometimes the path is more torturous but drives us to more desired results,". Ronaldo on social media.

He further said: "Yesterday's result was very hard, but not enough to sink us. Our objective to get to the 2022 World Cup is still very alive and we know what we have to do to achieve it. There are no excuses, Portugal are going to Qatar,"

Portugal can still make it to the main event by qualifying through the playoffs. This will be the third time that the Portuguese will have to qualify for the main tournament after participating in the playoffs. For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, they had a similar situation during qualifications.

Francisco Conceição celebrates his equaliser against Germany in the Nations League semi-final in Munich

Portugal will be confident of beating any team in the world after ousting Germany in the semi-final. This was their first win over the Germans since the EURO 2000. Not only that, but Cristiano Ronaldo also won against Germany for the first time in his senior career, after netting the winning goal.

Roberto Martínez has introduced a few new tactical things to turn things around for Portugal, after crashing out against France on penalties in the last eight. Rafael Leão, Pedro Neto or Francisco Conceição on the wings supplying central striker Cristiano Ronaldo, has been a great plan for him along with having a strong 4-man defence in the back.

Along with them, inform Vitinha, fresh from a Champions League triumph, and Bruno Fernandes, give Portugal solidity in the midfield. 

Till now, there is no news of injuries, and Martinez will have a full squad to choose from for the final against Spain.

Spain have been one of the best sides in world football, comprising one of the brightest young talents in every position. Although they are suffering from a few long-term injuries to some senior players, Luis de la Fuente's team looks no worried since winning the EURO 2024. 

In a record-breaking semi-final, where the most number of goals in a Nations League match was scored, Spain defeated France by 5-4 to qualify for the final. Though the scoreline looks tight, Spain once led by 4-1, and a few experiments along with complacency led them to win by a smaller margin.

Lamine Yamal, the Ballon d'Or 2025 contender, scored a brace for them while Pedri netted a magical goal. Mikel Oyarzabal, just like every time, performed silently while providing two assists. Nico Williams also looked like a beast on the right. 

Scoring goals will never be an issue for a team like this. But, defending well against a well-shaped Portugal team would be a tough task for them. 

No news of new injuries for them as well.

Portugal

Diogo Costa; João Neves, Rúben Dias, Gonçalo Inácio, Nuno Mendes; Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes; Francisco Conceição, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Neto.

Moments & Full-time verdict!

Portugal advanced in emphatic style, overcoming an early setback to defeat Denmark 5-2 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s shocking penalty miss in the 6th minute, Portugal found their breakthrough thanks to a bit of fortune — a Joachim Andersen own goal in the 38th minute gave them a narrow halftime lead.

Denmark came out fighting in the second half, with Rasmus Kristensen’s composed finish in the 56th minute briefly sparking hope for the Danes. But when the pressure mounted, Portugal’s stars rose to the occasion. Ronaldo redeemed himself with a 72nd-minute strike, only for Christian Eriksen to level things again just four minutes later in a dramatic exchange.

The turning point came through Francisco Trincão, whose clinical finishes in the 81st and 91st minutes shattered Danish resilience. Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory in extra time with a composed goal in the 115th minute, ensuring Portugal’s place in the next round.

Ronaldo’s missed penalty could have defined the night — but instead, it was Portugal’s relentless attacking depth and resilience that stole the show.
