Cristiano Ronaldo headlines Portugal squad for 2022 World Cup.

Staff Reporter.

Christiano Ronaldo leads Portugal into what will surely be his last World Cup ahead of his 38th birthday in February.

And despite Fernando Santos’ somewhat outdated tactics and selection, the Selecao remain a real contender in Qatar.

With a plethora of talent in support of Ronaldo, including Bruno Fernandes and Bernado Silva, but Diogo Jota is out injured, meaning Santos will have to find the right balance with the recent Nations League performances hardly encouraging.

Portugal’s potential is huge, but Santos appears unable to give them the spark required to slug it out with the very best.

Goalkeepers: Diogo Costa (FC Porto), Jose Sa (Wolverhampton Wanderers FC), Rui Patricio (AS Roma).

Defenders: Diogo Dalot (Manchester United), Joao Cancelo (Manchester City), Danilo Pereira (Paris St Germain), Pepe (FC Porto), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Antonio Silva (SL Benfica), Nuno Mendes (Paris St Germain), Raphael Guerreiro (Borussia Dortmund).
