Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight for Portugal vs Denmark in UEFA Nations League quarterfinal?

A Selecao will face the Danes in the quarter-final of the competition.

Tonight, Denmark will host Portugal at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium for the opening leg of their quarterfinal matchup in the UEFA Nations League.

After losing to France on penalties in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals last summer, Portugal bounced back to finish first in League A Group 1 at the end of the previous year with four victories and two draws in their six Nations League games. They were six points ahead of their closest rivals, Croatia.

After finishing 2024 with an odd 5-1 victory over Poland at home (the game was goalless until the 59th minute), Roberto Martinez’s team played out a 1-1 draw in a dead-rubber encounter against Croatia in mid-November.

Given that they have won four of their previous five encounters with the Red and Whites, notably their last two by 1-0 scores in Euro 2016 qualification, the Selecao will bet on themselves to defeat Denmark and advance one step closer to Nations League triumph.

Portugal have prevailed in two of their last six away internationals (D2 L2) and have failed to register a goal in three of those games, indicating their inconsistent road performance over the last 12 months.

Despite boasting impressive attacking options A Selecao will have to set up in this match if they are to go into the second leg with a big goal advantage.

Yes, Ronaldo is in the travelling squad and was also spotted in team training and should be playing tonight. The evergreen forward has been scoring goals consistently at club and national level.

Ronaldo has remained the primary goalscorer for the nation despite being 40 and will continue to remain a big threat in the attack. The former Real Madrid star will be looking to create more records with the national team.
