Players to Watch
Florian Wirtz (Germany)
The 22-year-old midfield star is going to play an essential role for Germany in the absence of Jamal Musiala. Florian Wirtz has six goal involvements in six UEFA Nations League matches for this edition. The young midfielder can control the midfield well and can also score goals, which can cause issues to Portugal’s defence.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goal scorer for his national football team in the Nations League. The 40-year-old knows how to build plays for his fellow teammates and is surely one of the experts in scoring goals. For Roberto Martinez, CR7 is going to be the first-choice forward and might also emerge as the game-changer for them.
