Only 2 Man City stars appeared in Portugal’s 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein
Bernardo Silva as lively as ever on the ball, yet never found the killer pass. Deservedly removed after an hour.
Mean While Joao Cancelo has plenty of quality when dribbling, but his passing was off at times. Redeemed himself with a lovely finish for Portugal’s second.
Manuel Akanji started from the start and played the full 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw between Switzerland and Israel.
Meanwhile, just six days shy of one whole year, in fact. For the first time since their World Cup opener in Qatar, Julian Alvarez and Argentina have tasted defeat.
Julian Alvarez didn’t see nearly enough of the ball to make an impact. Only had one shot, which won’t feel like anywhere close to enough for a striker of his level.
Jeremy Doku was completely rested in the friendly match of the Belgian team. He will most likely play a little on Sunday and return to Manchester to join the team as soon as possible.
