Cristiano Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal when they take on Spain in a highly-anticipated UEFA Nations League clash at the Estadio Municipal tonight (September 27).
Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Jota each scored a goal while Diogo Dalot bagged a superb brace.
But that is unlikely to keep the all-time leading goalscorer in men’s football from appearing in Portugal’s penultimate match before the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Santos’ men, who have 10 points after five matches, require a point to progress as Group 2 winners.
Spain, who have eight points, need a win to move to the next round.
Ronaldo, 37, has thus far featured in 190 games for Portugal across competitions, recording 117 goals and 43 assists.
