In the wake of their coronation in the Champions League, at the expense of Inter Milan (5-0), last Saturday in Munich, then crazy Champs-Elysées celebrations at the Parc des Princes, Portuguese players from PSG Nuno Mendes, Joao Mendes, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos found the Allianz Arena! The Seleçao won the first semi-final of the League of Nations against Germany (1-2) on Wednesday evening in Bavaria.
Favorite of the meeting and dominating on the ground, the Mannschaft opened the scoring by Florian Wirtz on the return from the locker room (48th), but Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates overturned the game in a few minutes. Francisco Conceiçao equalized with a superb rolled strike (63rd) then Nuno Mendes escaped on the left to serve “CR7” on set (68th). For a place in the final against the winner of France-Spain this Thursday.
Nuno Mendes and Joao Neves (aligned right side by Roberto Martinez) were holder, while Vitinha entered the time of play (58th), to offer in particular a small high class action which could have given a 3rd Portuguese goal. Gonçalo Ramos heated himself without going into play (Diogo Jota finished the point in the tip).
Vitinha lets go on Ronaldo
After the meeting, Vitinha was questioned by the media of his country and then spoke for … Ronaldo! “Of course Cristiano Ronaldo will be at the 2026 World Cup”launched the former FC Porto player, while the five -year -old Ballon d'Or, 40 years old and still captain star of his national team, will obviously try to conclude his international career with the World Cup 26 in North America. It is 937 career goals and even made the nets tremble 85 times in selection since his 30th anniversary!
To qualify directly for the World Cup organized in Canada, the United States and Canada, Portugal must finish first in its group of playoffs after meetings against Armenia, Hungary and Ireland, in September, October and November.
