Silva Says Portugal Ready for Spotlight without Ronaldo
- On Saturday, Portugal hosts Denmark in Braga for a UEFA Nations League match, with midfielder Bernardo Silva inheriting the captain's armband from Cristiano Ronaldo.

- Portugal plans a tribute before kickoff with the squad wearing number seven jerseys, while Coach Jorge Jesus said, "Nobody can forget Cris's 23 years in the national team."
- Silva backed the team to cope with extra pressure in the 41-year-old's absence, telling reporters, "Everyone knows the weight Cristiano carries."
- Portugal has already sealed qualification to the Nations League quarterfinals after winning all four matches in Group A4, removing pressure from Saturday's fixture.
