Portugal — 2026 World Cup Run Is Over
Portugal's World Cup ended 1-0 to Spain in the Round of 16, with Mikel Merino scoring in stoppage time (90+1'). The result also marked the end of Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career, as he had said before the tournament that this would be his last.
Portugal at the 2026 World Cup
Portugal are priced at +1100 to win the tournament after a mixed opening to Group K. An unconvincing first match against Colombia was followed by a dominant 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice to silence doubters about his role in the squad.
Betting Analysis
Portugal are effectively through to the Round of 32 after the Colombia result tightened their grip on Group K. Ronaldo's brace against Uzbekistan was the individual storyline of the day — the 41-year-old remains a threat even at this stage of his career. Their final group game against DR Congo will determine the group order. At +1100, Portugal represent excellent value in a wide-open knockout bracket.
Players to Watch
Cristiano Ronaldo remains the focal point despite questions about his fitness for a seven-game tournament. Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes carry the creative burden, while Rúben Dias leads a strong defensive unit.
World Cup History
Portugal's best World Cup finish was third in 1966. They've consistently reached the quarterfinals in the modern era and won Euro 2016. This could be Ronaldo's final shot at the one major trophy that has eluded him.
