In Group F, as teams vie for qualification to the Round of 16, the competition promises to be intense. Portugal has secured their place in the knockout stages with wins over Czechia and Turkey.
Georgia, holding just one point, still have a shot at advancing should they defeat Portugal. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the star from Napoli, expressed his admiration for Ronaldo and his eagerness to face him in such a critical match: “He was an idol for me. I’m happy to see him on the field. It was a dream I had [to face him], and we’ll see what happens.”
Zuriko Davitashvili also looks forward to the challenge of potentially facing Ronaldo in the European Championship, emphasizing that while it’s an honor, there’s no fear: “It’s a pleasure to face him, but I’m not afraid. I’m looking forward to it, and we want to show that we can play well against these teams.”
There’s speculation that Ronaldo may be rested by Portugal on Wednesday, as coach Roberto Martinez considers squad rotation. However, Kvaratskhelia hopes the 39-year-old will feature in the game, mindful of the tradition of exchanging shirts after matches.
