UEFA Nations League Final : 3 Reasons why Portugal are favorites to win the tournament

#2 Bernardo Silva’s dominance in the midfield

Bernardo Silva dominated the midfield in the semi-final match

The midfield will be the key to the match with prominent players like Frenkie de Jong looking for an opportunity to prove a point. But the man to watch will surely be Bernardo Silva. He was absolutely mesmerizing in the semi-final as he made 4 key passes and produced a man of the match performance. But that was not all. As a part of his defensive duties, Silva also notched up to produce five successful tackles, a significant record for any player on the pitch.

The midfield general in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has already proved his worth in the Premier League and is now proving the same in his national colors. He is a world class player who not only fancies tricks and turns but is also someone who can run for the team and give it all on the pitch with his heart-on-sleeve mentality.
