You're reading: Portugal, how many players in the team?

WARSAW, Poland — Headlines can be deceiving, especially those involving Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.

Ronaldo’s
goals have won consecutive matches at the European Championship,
sending Portugal into Wednesday’s semifinals against Spain. So readers
would be forgiven for thinking there was only one player in the team.

After
a faltering start to the tournament, the Real Madrid star rediscovered
his scoring touch in the team’s final group game, knocking in both goals
in an impressive 2-1 comeback victory over the Netherlands.

Between the expert finishing and the carefully styled haircut, it was a typical showman’s performance.
