The irony of Portugal's performance is that Manchester United are desperate to renew Bruno Fernandes' contract, while Diogo Dalot is one of the club's captains.
Then people wonder why United have fallen so far. Honestly, I struggle to see this club ever returning to the top.
The international break might have done Real Madrid a massive favour.
Vinícius Júnior has just scored two of the best goals of his career, and the biggest winner could be the club itself. José Mourinho now has the kind of problem every manager wants: genuine competition for places.
Vinícius knows his starting position is no longer guaranteed and has to fight for it. What a response from him!
Neymar Jr was the last Brazilian who actually played like a Brazilian for the national team.
Since him, Brazil have been filled with players who might have Brazilian passports, but have completely lost what it means to play Brazilian football.
If Neymar had stayed at Barcelona instead of leaving for PSG, would he eventually have won a Ballon d'Or, or would he have spent his career working like a horse while Messi took the glory and kept him permanently in his shadow?
