#5 Bernardo Silva
Of course Cristiano Ronaldo will be Portugal’s star man once again, but it’s not possible even for the Real Madrid man to do everything himself. New Manchester City signing Bernardo Silva will be expected to step forward and pick up some of the slack, particularly as he missed out on his nation’s victorious Euro 2016 campaign last summer due to injury.
This will be his first opportunity to shine since joining Pep Guardiola’s men for £43.5 million from Monaco, and if he can find a way to fit into Fernando Santos’ rather dour system, he is sure to be a big factor in the tournament. There are few players as capable in retaining possession as the 22-year-old.
Highly rated Porto striker Andre Silva has scored five times in six international outings and is another to keep an eye on.
