Portugal's Nations League Squad: CR7 Leads a Star-Studded Lineup with Fernandes, Leão, and Jota
Portugal’s Nations League Squad: A Data Analyst’s Take
As someone who’s spent a decade dissecting sports data (and occasionally arguing with coaches about it), Portugal’s latest squad announcement has me reaching for my spreadsheets. Cristiano Ronaldo, now 39 and still defying age curves like a statistical anomaly, leads a team packed with firepower and tactical versatility.
The Core: Experience Meets Youth
Attack:
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr): Love him or question his longevity, his 128 international goals don’t lie. My models still rate his off-ball movement as elite.
- Rafael Leão (AC Milan) & Diogo Jota (Liverpool): Speed demons with xG (expected goals) metrics that scream ‘clinical.’ Leão’s dribbling success rate (62%) is absurd.
Midfield Mastery:
- Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): Creates 3.2 chances per 90 minutes. If Portugal advances, he’ll be the algorithm behind it.
- Bernardo Silva (Man City): The human GPS—his positional heatmaps are art.
Dark Horses & Data Darlings
- João Neves (PSG): At 19, his tackle/interception stats rival veterans. My ‘breakout candidate’ alert is buzzing.
- Pedro Neto (Chelsea): Recovering from injury but owns the highest dribble success rate in the Premier League last season (74%). Small sample size? Maybe. Exciting? Absolutely.
The Big Question: Can They Beat Germany?
Germany’s press is relentless (ask any xG model), but Portugal’s midfield trio of Fernandes, Silva, and Palhinha averages a 88% pass accuracy under pressure. My prediction? A 2-1 thriller decided by… you guessed it, a Ronaldo header.
Note to self: Send this analysis to Fernando Santos. He might ignore it, but my ego will survive.

CR7: Mesin Gol yang Nggak Mau Pensiun
Di usia 39 tahun, Cristiano Ronaldo masih bikin statistik kebobolan kiper seperti anak muda! Data saya (dan mungkin juga doanya Santos) menunjukkan pergerakan tanpa bolanya masih elite.
Midfield Techies Bruno Fernandes - mesin assist yang selalu ‘connect’ ke WiFi, dan Bernardo Silva si GPS hidup. Kalau duo ini kompak, Jerman pun bisa kewalahan!
Bonus Trivia Prediksi 2-1 untuk Portugal, gol terakhir pasti sundulan CR7. Soal gajinya di Al-Nassr? Itu mah rahasia klub minyak… Eh, Saudi maksudnya!
Yang setuju timnas Portugal juara, komen ‘Ayo Selecao!’ 👇
¡CR7 sigue rompiendo las leyes de la física!
A sus 39 años, Cristiano Ronaldo no solo lidera la selección portuguesa, sino también mis modelos estadísticos. Con Bruno Fernandes repartiendo asistencias como si fuera WiFi gratis y Leão corriendo más rápido que mi conexión a internet, ¡Portugal tiene equipo para ganar hasta un partido contra aliens!
Dato curioso: Si Ronaldo marca otro gol de cabeza, los científicos tendrán que reescribir los libros de biomecánica. 🚀⚽
¿Ustedes creen que Alemania podrá con esta máquina de goles? ¡Dejen sus predicciones abajo!
CR7 کا جادو چلے گا؟
پرتگال کی نیشنز لیگ اسکواڈ دیکھ کر لگتا ہے کہ CR7 نے عمر کے حساب سے ریٹائرمنٹ کا نوٹس ہی نہیں پڑھا! 39 سال کی عمر میں بھی وہ اتنے فعال ہیں جیسے کوئی نوجوان۔ برونو فرنینڈیز اور رافیل لیاؤ جیسے ستاروں کے ساتھ یہ ٹیم جرمنی کو چیلنج دے گی۔
مڈفیلڈ کا جادو
برنارڈو سلوا کی پوزیشننگ ہیٹ میپس دیکھ کر لگتا ہے کہ وہ انسان نہیں، بلکہ ایک GPS ہیں! اور جواؤ نیوز کے ٹیکلز تو ویٹرنز کو بھی شرمسار کر دیں گے۔

CR7: O Homem-Areia do Futebol
Com 39 anos e ainda a marcar golos como se fosse um jovem de 20, Cristiano Ronaldo é a prova viva de que a idade é só um número. E os dados confirmam: 128 golos pela seleção! 🤯
Os Rapazes da Bola
Bruno Fernandes? Uma máquina de assistências. Leão e Jota? Velocistas com números de xG que fazem os adversários tremer. Até o João Neves, com apenas 19 anos, já está a dar cartas.
Previsão do Especialista
Alemanha pode ter pressão alta, mas o nosso meio-campo tem 88% de precisão sob pressão. Aposto num 2-1 com golo de cabeça do CR7. Quem discorda? 😎

CR7: O Benjamin Button do futebol
Aos 39 anos, Cristiano Ronaldo continua a desafiar as leis da física - e as minhas planilhas do Excel! Esse homem não envelhece, só acumula gols (128 e contando).
Meio-campo high-tech Bruno Fernandes? Um algoritmo de assistências ambulante. Bernardo Silva? GPS humano que faz Pep Guardiola chorar de orgulho.
E essa dupla de ataque? Leão e Jota correndo como se tivessem levado choque no treino! Até o João Neves (19 anos!) já joga como veterano.
Previsão: Portugal 2x1 Alemanha, gol de cabeça do CR7 no último minuto. Aposto meu cafezinho!
E aí, concordam ou vou ter que explicar com mais gráficos? 😉
CR7: Defying Age Like a Boss
At 39, Ronaldo isn’t just playing—he’s rewriting the aging curve like it’s his personal Excel sheet. With Bruno Fernandes as the midfield algorithm and Leão’s absurd dribbling stats, Portugal’s squad is basically a football nerd’s dream.
Pro Tip: If you see Ronaldo jump for a header, just close your eyes and let the xG gods do their thing.
