Portugal's national team did not start the European Championship as planned. The team, which boasts many famous footballers, failed to defeat the modest Iceland team - the match ended 1:1. After the game, Portuguese leader C. Ronaldo did not hide his frustration: "The result is a bit annoying - we tried to win, unlike our opponents. Iceland scored a goal, created two chances to score, and spent the rest of the time defending. As we saw, even the strongest teams like Spain or France also had problems in their debut matches, so we maintain confidence in our abilities and are 100% sure that we will win the next match (against Austria - ed. note). Today the Icelanders were lucky, because the three points should have belonged to us. After the match, they celebrated as if they had won the European Championships. It's just unbelievable. This shows their small mentality, Icelanders will not achieve anything more." After the match, the upset C. Ronaldo refused to exchange shirts with Gunnarsson. The foreign press noted that Ronaldo has already taken 34 penalty shots in important international tournaments, but has not scored a single goal.
