The form of Portugal’s foreign-based contingent of attacking players continues to be the cause of great positivity as Rafael Leão and Cristiano Ronaldo both found the net in Monday evening’s matches in Italy for Milan and Juventus respectively.
The goals are more good news for Portugal’s array of attacking options, with André Silva, João Félix, Pedro Neto, Bruno Fernandes and Gonçalo Guedes all shining since European football returned from the extended break caused by the worldwide pandemic. Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva registered two assists for Manchester City in England and Rui Silva and Domingos Duarte impressed in Spain on a great evening for Luso players abroad.
Just when it seemed that Pedro Neto had scored the goal of the weekend in the Portuguese Abroad section after his sensational volley in England on Saturday, Gonçalo Guedes emerged on Sunday evening to produce one of the moments of the season for Valencia.
The Premier League is back underway and there has been no shortage of Portuguese involvement across the major stories in the English top flight. Pedro Neto marked his return to action by continuing his impressive second half of the season at Wolverhampton Wanderers with a sensational volley in his side’s victory at West Ham United.
João Félix showed no signs of rustiness as he marked his first appearance in over three months with a brace to inspire Atletico Madrid to victory over Osasuna in La Liga.
André Silva now has 10 goals from his last thirteen appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, after another assured finish against Schalke on Wednesday evening.
