A trip to the Estádio do Dragão to face a liberated Portugal isn’t exactly what a Norway team that’s suffered back-to-back defeats needed.
Jorge Jesus’s Iberians haven’t lost at this stadium since Greece started its stunning ascent to Euro 2004 glory by beating the hosts 2–1 in the opening game of the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo was Portugal’s conciliatory goalscorer that day, his first of a staggering 146 on the international stage.
However, the 41-year-old won’t be adding to his record haul on Sunday, given that he exited Jesus’s camp in a huff after the new manager opted against bringing him off the bench in the reverse fixture. There’s been talk of a “betrayal” from Ronaldo’s camp, and the Portuguese Football Federation reportedly tried its utmost to convince the disgruntled superstar to return.
Still, the rest of Jesus’s roster appeared unbothered as they claimed a 4–2 victory over Denmark, meaning the two-time winner of this competition remains perfect through three games and is on the cusp of securing a quarterfinal berth.
Here’s how to tune into Sunday’s Nations League clash around the world.
