The 17th UEFA Euro championship is here, and one of the first big games of this summer is Portugal versus the Czech Republic. They’ll be playing at the Red Bull Arena in the German city of Leipzig in a Group F encounter, and it’s going to be a real battle.
Portugal is feeling confident after winning all their Group J games under the guidance of their new coach, Roberto Martinez, and star player Cristiano Ronaldo leading the team, who holds the record for scoring the most goals in Euro history. With the ninth finals appearance on the line, Portugal wants to show they’re a force to be reckoned with.
Czechia, who continued their impressive streak of eight consecutive Euro appearances with a convincing display in the qualifiers, has a rich history in the tournament, too. They’ve made it to the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and even the final in the last few Euro editions. They hope to bring back the glory of their legendary 1976 win led by Antonin Panenka.
Both teams want to win their opening game to kick their Euro 2024 journey off the right foot. The stakes are undeniably high, as securing a strong start in the group stage is crucial for their advancement to the top league.
