On the other hand, the first country who lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy in 2019, Portugal, suffered consecutively in their last two big tournaments. After losing their lead and shockingly leaving the Euro 2021 in the quarter-finals, Portugal faced problems in their World Cup qualification group where Serbia dominated and took the direct qualification ticket. After that, Cristiano and his teammates focused more and started to think about the destiny of the country as they waved in the second round and grabbed a ticket to Qatar after beating Turkey.
After their defeat against Serbia, Fernando Santos said : “ Portugal will be in Qatar”.
