This Monday, for the last day of the group stages of the Football Nations League, Croatia welcomes Portugal. Portuguese undefeated since the start of the competition and already qualified for the quarter-finals, which are already looking towards the year 2025.
For their part, the Croats are close to joining Roberto Martinez's men. Currently second with 7 points, they are three points ahead of Poland and Scotland, who face each other at the same time. To qualify, a draw against the Portuguese is enough for them. And if they were to lose against Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates, we will have to hope that Scotland do not beat Poland. Otherwise, second place will be decided on goal difference, for the moment to the advantage of Croatia.
On the last day, Zlatko Dalic's men did not make their task easy, losing (1-0) against the Scots. At the same time, Portugal inflicted a severe 5-1 on the Poles. A meeting marked by a magnificent return from Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Nations League match between Croatia and Portugal can be followed on Monday, November 18 at 8:45 p.m. on the Channel l'Équipe.
