Fernando Santos’ national team came out of the starting blocks after the long coronavirus crisis and was willing to defend the title of the Nations League. There was a clear 4-1 home win against Vice World Champion Croatia on the first day of the match. Joao Cancelo (41st), Diogo Jota (58th), Joao Felix (70th) and Andre Silva (94th) scored the goals for the Selecao. Petkovic (91st) took care of the Croats in the meantime 1:3. In the second Dutch match in Scandinavia Cristiano Ronaldo scored both goals in Sweden (45th, 72nd) in a 2-0 victory. Before World Champion France (both 6 points) the group A3 is led by Sweden and Croatia.
The Santos Elf was the first winner of the new competition in 2019. In the final against Holland, the European Champion won 1-0. The 2018 World Cup in Russia was over after just one victory. Two years earlier, Portugal won the European Championship for the first time in the history of the club in the final against World Champion France (1:0 A.D.).
Cristiano Ronaldo’s two goals in Sweden were his international goals 100 and 101. This makes the Juve Star the second most successful goalscorer in male football at the association level. Ali Daei from Iran, who is no longer active, holds the record of 109 international goals.
In addition to CR7, Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Raphael Guerreiro (BVB) and Ruben Dias (Man.City) are among the top stars in the Portuguese national squad.

The Iberians managed to save the first NL game in Germany last month after a decent performance and scored 1:1 late in the second leg by Jose Gaya (96th). Shortly before the start of the second half, the DFB team led by Timo Werner 1-0 in the front (51st). Three days later, the Ukrainians were blown off and prevailed in their own stadium (4:0). Luis Enrique’s national team made everything clear in the first round. The double pack by Sergio Ramos (3rd, penalty, 29th) and the 3-0 by Ansu Fati (32nd) provided clear conditions early on. Ferran Torres scored 4:0 (84th) in the final phase. The three-time European champion leads Group A4 in the Nations League with four points. Ukraine (3), Germany (2) and Switzerland (1) rank behind them.
The Enrique-Elf finished second in the first NL season in a group with England (group winner) and Croatia (last) and missed the semi-finals. Similarly disappointing was the 2018 World Cup in Russia with only one victory in the preliminary round and the tournament out in the quarter-finals against the host after penalty shootouts.
Spain’s mega talent Ansu Fati set a new record with his 3-0 goal against Ukraine. The Barca player is the youngest scorer in Spain’s international history and Nations League at the age of 17 and 311 days.
With Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig, there is only one Bundesliga player in the Spanish squad. Ex-Bayern-Kicker Thiago (FC Liverpool) is missing injured.
