UEFA Nations League, Italy 0-0 Portugal: 5 Talking Points

#5 Not a memorable homecoming for Andre Silva

Silva looked off-coloured

The Portuguese youngster has made plenty of headlines for his barnstorming start to life at new club Sevilla, where he's already stuck seven times in 10 appearances. He is also the driving factor behind Portugal's successful Nations League campaign so far, having scored the winner against Italy in the opener and then netting once again against Poland.

This time, however, he was well off his mark and forget scoring, Silva failed to muster a single shot on target. Returning to the San Siro for the first time since switching Milan for Sevilla, the 23-year old was kept in check by Chiellini and Bonucci, cutting him off the supply lines and not letting him any space to work anything out. He made only 27 touches on the ball - the least amongst the Portuguese players and second fewest in the match.

The Andre Silva at San Siro was very different from the Andre Silva that turned up for the Sevillastas week in week out. This might just be a one-off, but Portugal need him against Poland to ensure a positive end to Nations League group stages.
