The Portugal national team broke a 17-year streak in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo as they thrashed Sweden this week.
Selecao continued their preparations for the European Championships in June with a 5-2 win over the Swedish outfit.

Ronaldo was rested for Thursday's clash along with a few other first team regulars, which left the number seven vacant.
The vacant number was taken by Bruma, who made an appearance in the second half against Sweden.
In doing so, it was the first that player other than Ronaldo wore the number seven jersey for the national side since 2007.
Bruma did go on to score in the 57th minute as the 2016 European champions proved too strong for Sweden.
However, it is highly unlikely that Bruma will wear the shirt against Slovenia on Tuesday evening as Ronaldo is set to return to the matchday squad.
The 39-year-old finished as Portugal's top scorer in the European Championship qualifiers with ten goals to his name, four behind the qualifier's top scorer Romelu Lukaku.
