EURO 2024

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play for Portugal against Georgia today?

Portugal have already sewn up top spot in Group F and can afford to rotate the squad against a Georgia side who need to win to stay alive at Euro 2024.

Roberto Martinez and his Portugal side are in a privileged position going into their final Group F game against Georgia having done their homework in the previous two matches recording two wins with six points in the bag.

The Spanish coach is expected to use Wednesday’s game against Georgia in Gelsenkirchen as an opportunity to field those players who have yet to enjoy significant playing time in Germany with only goalkeeper Diogo Costa and forward Cristiano Ronaldo guaranteed to be starters today.

Everything points to João Félix being selected as a striking partner for Cristiano and despite rumours of a heated exchange with the head coach with the young striker going on the record to deny the accusations, the current Atlético Madrid player is badly in need of a solid performance to silence his (ever growing) number of critics.

AC Milan winger Rafael Leão is suspended for the Gelsenkirchen clash and Felix will compliment a front three that is set to be spearheaded by Gonçalo Ramos.

CR7 looking to make history

Ronaldo is the second oldest player in action at Euro 2024 at the age of 39 and four months and trails compatriot Pepe who is now 41 (and three months).

The Madeira born forward also holds the record for the most European Championship games (27), and is the only player to have participated in six editions of the tournament and is looking to get off the mark with his appearance against Georgia today.

Georgia dreaming of an upset

Georgia need to win to ensure that their debut Euro 2024 adventure continues and will look to the mercurial Kvaratskhelia to spur the side on with a draw not enough to guarantee progression with the other Group F clash today pitting Türkiye against Czechia.
