Though the team of CR7 played very well in the year 2004 UEFA Euro & 2006 FIFA World cup but their last few years performance in top level tournaments isn’t so good at all. Portugal played 8 matches in 2015-16 season where they won five matches and lost in three. The Seleccao played their last match against Norway where they won by 3 – 0. Problem is, the full team performance depending of Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, if he score goal then the team get good result, otherwise their performance become poor. Upcoming UEFA Euro in France would be another great chance for this Portuguese national team to proof them once again.
