Georgia vs Portugal: Euro 2024 - LIVE!
Portugal has secured the top spot in Group F at Euro 2024 and will be making some changes in their lineup when they face Georgia in Gelsenkirchen tonight. Manager Roberto Martinez can give some players a rest knowing that his team has advanced to the last 16. However, Cristiano Ronaldo will still be starting as he looks to score his first goal of the tournament.
Georgia manager Willy Sagnol will be pleased with the upcoming changes, as it gives his team a chance to advance to the knockout stages for the first time. They will need to defeat Portugal tonight to do so, but they should be feeling confident after earning their first ever point at a European Championship against the Czech Republic in their last match.
Portugal has been one of the top teams in the tournament up to this point, but it will be interesting to see their strategy in their last group match. Stay updated on all the game action with Standard Sport's live match blog!
