Portugal Announce Strong 2020 UEFA European Championship Squad

Portugal Announce Strong 2020 UEFA European Championship Squad

Fernando Santos has confirmed his 26-man Portugal squad for the upcoming UEFA European Championship, with Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates desperate to retain the title!

Click through the gallery above to see seven high-profile players who missed out on Santos' latest squad.

It has been five years since the previous Euros, which A Selecao won in incredibly dramatic fashion with an extra-time triumph over host nation France after Eder's shot from range made its way past Hugo Lloris.

Portugal will be hoping to become one of only a handful of nations to retain the trophy, and manager Santos has named a strong team to take part in the tournament.

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leads the selection, while Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes features in an impressive midfield group along with Wolverhampton Wanderers' Ruben Neves.

While Manchester City duo Joao Cancelo and Ruben Dias will join forces with the likes of Pepe and Raphael Guerreiro, it is going forward where Portugal arguably shines brightest.

Joao Felix, Diogo Jota and Andre Silva are all named in Santos' attack, with the latter having contributed to a remarkable 38 goals in 33 matches across all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt so far this season.

Full squad

Goalkeepers: Anthony Lopes (Olympique Lyon), Rui Patricio (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Rui Silva (Granada)

Defenders: Joao Cancelo (Manchester City), Nelson Semedo (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Jose Fonte (Lille), Pepe (FC Porto), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Nuno Mendes (Sporting Lisbon), Raphael Guerreiro (Borussia Dortmund)

Midfielders: Danilo Pereira (Paris Saint-Germain), Joao Palhinha (Sporting Lisbon), Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Joao Moutinho (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Renato Sanches (Lille), Sergio Oliveira (FC Porto), William Carvalho (Real Betis)

Forwards: Pedro Goncalves (Sporting Lisbon), Andre Silva (Eintracht Frankfurt), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus), Diogo Jota (Liverpool), Goncalo Guedes (Valencia), Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Rafa Silva (Benfica)
