Once known to be the dark horses of the tournament, Portugal has transformed itself into one of the top contenders for the silverware.
Portugal will look to put a poor 2018 World Cup campaign behind when they open their title defence against Hungary on June 15. Having won the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019, the team is in good form.
To talk about Portugal and not mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo is criminal. Their all-time top scorer with 36 goals, Ronaldo also found the net 11 times during the qualifiers, more than anyone else. However, he has never top-scored at a EURO or World Cup finals. CR7 will be leading a talented bunch including Bruno Fernanes, Diogo Jota, Bernado Silva, Joao Felix and many more.
Fernando Santos continues to manage Portugal, a side he was handed over in 2014. A Selecao won its maiden Euro championship in 2016 under Santos.
Apart from the glory 5 years ago, Portugal has managed to reach the final just once in 2004, when they lost 1-0 to Greece.
They are placed in Group F along with Hungary, France and Germany. No wonder why it is being called the group of death. Nevertheless, if Santos' men manage to get past this group, they may very well go all the way.
