Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Portugal Against DR Congo in Sixth World Cup Match
Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the World Cup stage for a record‑tying sixth tournament, having debuted two decades ago. Portugal arrives as a favorite after Al Nassr’s Saudi league title and back‑to‑back Nations League victories.
The team will line up in a 4‑3‑4 system with Ronaldo as the central striker, flanked by Bernardo Silva and Pedro Neto on the wings. Midfield creativity will come from the trio of Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and João Neves, providing the spark Portugal needs to dominate the group.
