🚨XIs ready: Jorge Jesus era begins in Portugal | OneFootball

Lisbon’s Estádio José Alvalade hosts Portugal and Wales this Thursday for Matchday 1 of UEFA Nations League Group A4. A Seleção begin the defense of their crown with Jorge Jesus making his debut as head coach. With a star-studded squad led by Cristiano Ronaldo at 41, alongside Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Rafael Leão, the Portuguese side will look to lay down a marker from the opening whistle.

For their part, Craig Bellamy’s Wales celebrate their return to the top tier of League A, ready to spring a surprise. Backed by Ethan Ampadu’s solidity and the counterattacking pace of Brennan Johnson and Daniel James, the Dragons will aim to disrupt the hosts’ possession game. It is a clash that brings back fond memories of the Euro 2016 semifinal and promises high intensity.
