Joao Moutinho has underlined the importance of the UEFA Nations League after it was criticised by Kevin De Bruyne.
The two players will represent Portugal and Belgium respectively in the coming fortnight. It comes after a hectic season for the duo, who both ply their trade in the Premier League and are central to their club sides. Portugal are gearing up for a game against Spain in Seville on Thursday.
The Nations League is a relatively new tournament and was bought in to replace international friendlies, thus placing greater importance on games. Portugal won the inaugural competition, beating the Netherlands in the final back in 2019.
