UEFA Nations League
Germany vs Portugal
Spain vs France
While the
UEFA Nations League semi-finals promises to thrill fans around the world, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal are expected to be at the forefront of all entertainment this week.
To begin with, Portugal will have the tough task of stopping Germany in their tracks when the two sides clash at the Allianz arena on Wednesday evening.
Largely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, the 40-year-old has six goals in seven appearances during the current UEFA NationsLeague campaign.
Speaking on Ronaldo’s longevity, Germany star Joshua Kimmich recently expressed that he is often left flabbergasted at the Al Nassr forward’s output over the years.
"I read that he scored [136] goals for the national team," Kimmich told reporters. "Cristiano Ronaldo has crazy numbers, especially when you look at the consistency, he's been playing at a very high level for over 20 years, performing for his country. For me, 100 caps already makes me very proud."
While Ronaldo is currently at the latter stage of his career, Yamal is just getting started.
Tipped to become football’s next best talent, Yamal will hope to weave his magic for Spain when the Euros champions take on the 2018 FIFA World Cup winners at the MHPArena on Thursday night.
On the back of recording 18 goals and 25 assists amid a domestic treble winning campaign with Barcelona, Spain boss Luis de la Fuente took a philosophical approach in assessment of the 17-year-old’s progression.
“He’s touched by God’s magic, he’s special. You have to know how to manage him. He and his club are doing very well,” de la Fuente said.
“He’s very mature for his age; he handles situations naturally. Let’s be aware that he’s 17 years old and a footballer who could become a legend.”
