Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic captain of the Seleção, made sure to deliver a heartfelt message of encouragement to his teammates ahead of tonight’s decisive showdown against Armenia at Porto’s Estádio do Dragão. This match marks the final day of Group F in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.Currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo posted on his official accounts, declaring:"Let’s go, team! All together today and forever! For Portugal and our flag!"The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will, however, be absent for this crucial fixture after being sent off in the previous match against Ireland, a game Portugal lost 2-0.

How can Portugal secure their World Cup ticket?

The Portuguese side absolutely needs a win against Armenia. Victory would guarantee them a direct spot at the World Cup, bringing their total to 13 points.Portugal also has a second route: a draw could be enough, provided Hungary doesn’t win big against Ireland by more than three goals.There’s still hope for qualification even in the event of a draw or a defeat, but only on one condition: that the game between Hungary and Ireland ends in a stalemate.
