The 2024-25 UEFA Nations League A Group 1 concludes with a shock at the top. Croatia and Portugal face off at Stadion Poljud in Split on Monday evening.
The Selecao have already secured their place in the quarter-finals as group winners, but their hosts today need a point to be absolutely sure of progressing to the knockout stages.
Ronaldo and Portugal are on the rise
After reaching the mark of 910 career goals, Cristiano Ronaldo will be keen to improve his total for what will be the last international meeting of the year. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to aim for the threshold of 1000 achievements.
Obviously, the Croats don’t see it that way. They intend to make things difficult for him and his partners. Roberto Martinez, the Portuguese coach, is very wary of it after admitting at a press conference that Croatia is one of the most beautiful teams to watch play.
