Ahead of the crucial clash, the Manchester United legend was seen soaking the sun in his homeland as fans went gaga over Ronaldo's fit body. "Enjoying our country," said the former Real Madrid and Juventus striker in his latest Instagram post. Not just fans but Ronaldo's partner Georgina Rodriguez too showered her love on the footballer. "What a hair, my handsome boy," the Spanish model commented.

Portugal will start as favourites in their clash against the Czech Republic, who are second in their UEFA Nations League group. The Czechs made an admirable start to their campaign as they held Spain 2-2 in last week's draw but will need to step up when they take on the Ronaldo and Co.

Fernando Santos' men will hope to continue their form and maintain their top spot in the group. The Iberian giants thrashed Switzerland by a 4-0 margin in their previous clash and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Portugal, who have won two out of the three matches played between the two nations, registered a 1-0 win against the Czechs when they faced each other in their previous meeting that took place in 2012.
