I was surprised by not seeing Ronaldo against Luxembourg. It was just the game for him as he could have made even a hat-trick probably.  Grin  It was a really incredible effort by Portugal. I mean Luxembourg collected 10 points until this match. But when it comes to facing Portugal they can't do anything good just as it happened before as well.

Today there is an important match for Group C. If Italy win against Ukraine they are taking the second position from them. It was unexpected for me to see Italy struggling against North Macedonia once again. But I think Spalletti will start doing a good work by winning against Ukraine today. What do you think about Spalletti's future at this team?
Portugal players were on different high level, displaying their stellar performance on the pitch. Portugal had no mercy facing a mediocre country interms of football, thrashing Luxembourg 9 nil with full domination and emphatic winning. I'm not surprised because Luxembourg happens to be one of these countries with mediocre players that are still trying to adapt to high level of football. It's just a big missed on the big name, Cristiano Ronaldo missing out on the game against Luxembourg, he would have scored an hattrick. We all know how versatile he can be on the pitch, very good in positioning for goal scoring.
I see the Portuguese team in a different way, they are growing into a stronger team with the birth of young players and hopefully with coach Roberto Martinez, he will give opportunities to young stars. This new generation of Portuguese players is on fire. They can reach the final at the Euros if they give retirement to C. Ronaldo. But I don't hate Ronaldo. There is a big difference in gameplay when Portugal plays with Ronaldo and without Ronaldo. Ronaldo makes this team's game much worse because all the players focus on him, but they look more fluid when playing without Ronaldo. I may not agree with you this time, in my opinion if Ronaldo plays I'm not sure Portugal's score will be 9-0 against Luxembourg. IMO
