The European Championship powerhouses are actively preparing for the competition, Portugal lost 1-2 at home to Croatia, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to be absent, Jota scored from the bench, Modric scored a penalty, and Budimir sealed the win. Portugal's midfield has given too much space to their opponents, and with their inefficient performances against strong teams, Portugal's prospects at this tournament are in jeopardy.

Portugal started the game positively, but it was Croatia who scored first. In the opening 8 minutes, Kovacic fell to the ground in the penalty area, the referee decisively blew a penalty, and Modric hit the penalty steadily, 1-0! In the 21st minute, Gvardiol burst into the box on the counter-attack, and he cut inside to get rid of the far corner and fired just wide.

Croatia's counter-attack was vigorous, and Portugal's midfield was ineffective. In the 43rd minute, Budimir's close-range header was slightly deflected, and Portugal was lucky not to concede a second goal in the first half, and the coach Martinez on the sidelines looked solemn.

In the second half, Portugal made substitutions to strengthen the attack, with Jota, Joo, Cancelo, Semedo and Rafael Leao coming on. In the 48th minute, Semedo broke through the bottom cross on the right side, and Jota in front of the goal outflanked it in place and easily pushed it to score, 1-1! Portugal equalised and Jota netted in quick succession.

In the 56th minute, Pasaric turned around at the top of the arc and hit a high-quality long-range shot, the ball hit the crossbar, and Budimir followed up with a header to score, 1-2! In the 64th minute, Cancelo missed a great one-on-one chance. In the 68th minute, Livakovic blocked his opponent's dangerous shots in succession, and his performance today was like a miracle help.

Then Portugal fought back weakly, and Ronaldo did not play, and finally Portugal lost 1-2 to Croatia. Portugal will face Ireland in their final warm-up match before the European Championship on 11 June. Portugal are in the same group as the Czech Republic, Turkey and Georgia in this European Championship, and Portugal's first match against the Czech Republic.
