Who are the best players from Portugal who will face Uruguay?

Portugal's national team had a good debut in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo's team is not only a candidate to finish first in their group, but also a serious contender to win the World Cup.

Despite having a positive record and some of the best football players in history, the Portuguese squad has never won this tournament, so they are eager for this to be their big opportunity, especially because players like the former '7' of Manchester United are nearing retirement.

Probably, Portugal's starting lineup is one of the strongest among the 32 participating teams in terms of names, although having the best players doesn't always guarantee a favorable performance as a team.

The best Portuguese football player in the last 15 years is a key piece in Fernando Santos' scheme, as, despite not having a team and being a free agent, 'CR7' has always stood up for his country in the most crucial moments.

The young forward who plays for Atlético Madrid is playing his first World Cup and he only needed one game to score his first goal. It seems that the former Benfica player will be a starter for the Portuguese national team again.

The talented midfielder from Manchester City is the 'brain' of the Portuguese team and one of the most talented players worldwide. His good performance in the debut against Ghana positions him as one of the favorites to start against Uruguay.

Bruno went from being a questioned signing at the Red Devils to being their main star, especially now that his compatriot Ronaldo will not be in the most successful team in England. The midfielder is one of Portugal's best assets for their upcoming matches.

The always tough but reliable Pepe is still at the top of his game, despite being 39 years old. The former Real Madrid player has been a key figure in Portugal's central defense for over a decade and now he has the golden opportunity to retire with a World Cup title in his resume.

If we talk about defenders, Portugal can boast having one of the best in this position, as the Manchester City defender has faced the most lethal strikers and, in most cases, has responded favorably for his club, as well as when he has worn his country's jersey.

The exciting match between both teams for the second matchday of the Qatar 2022 World Cup will be played on Monday, November 28, at 2:00 p.m. (Peruvian time) and 4:00 p.m. (Uruguayan time) at the Lusail Stadium.

In Peru and Uruguay, the match will be available on DirecTV Sports. Nationally, the match will also be broadcast on Latina TV, while in Uruguay it can be seen on Antel TV, NS Eventos 1, Montecable HD 1, MCGo Live, and TCC.
