Portugal are the only team in the ongoing Euro Nations League season 4 with a perfect start, and the Seleção das Quinas are getting the desired results without the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Seleção have shown no sign of weakness since the five-time Ballon d’Or winner left the Portuguese camp following a breakdown in the relationship with the head coach, Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo reportedly left the squad in Copenhagen after he was an unused substitute despite warming up for about 20 minutes in the second half in Portugal’s 2-1 win away at Norway on September 27th, 2026.
The Al Nassr forward claimed his former boss disrespected him, but the 72-year-old boss claimed he had no issue with Ronaldo and had already discussed his limited playing time with him in advance.
Nevertheless, the defending champions have waxed stronger without Ronaldo, winning against Denmark and beating Norway by the same scoreline in the return fixture on Sunday evening.
João Cancelo and Goncalo Ramos inspired Portugal to a comeback win over Norway in Lisbon to remain the only team with maximum points after four rounds of matches.
Portugal are atop Group 4 of Group A with 12 points, while Denmark are second with half. Wales and Norway are equal on points – 3 as they occupy the third and fourth spots respectively.
In other results, Germany are at risk of relegation to League B after a goalless draw away at Greece. Die Mannschaft have managed just five points from four matches as Jürgen Klopp continues to endure a difficult start as the heach coach of the four-time World champions.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands top group 2 with eight points after a 2-1 win over Serbia in Amsterdam.
Spain have the chance to join Portugal with maximum points when they take on Croatia later tonight in Prague, while England hope to close the gap on the World Champions as they host the Czech Republic at Wembley.
The battle to top Group 1 is up for grabs as France take on Belgium at the Stade de France in Paris. France are currently at the summit with seven points while Belgium follow closely with six. Italy are at home to Turkey as the Azzurri hope to close in on their rivals.
