Ronaldo to silence the critics?

The composition of Ghana with Partey
On the Ghana side, watch out for the very solid midfield pair with Thomas Partey (Arsenal) associated with Lensois Abdul Samed.
Composition:
Zigi - Seidu, Amartey, Djiku, Salisu, Rahman - Abdul Samed, Partey - Kudus, Williams, Ayew

Portugal with Ronaldo obviously
So many talents on the Portugal side that Vitinha or even Rafael Leao remain on the bench and could enter during the game. Uncertain, Nuno Mendes is in the stands.
Danilo Pereira replaces Pepe in central defence.
Composition:
Diogo Costa - João Cancelo, Danilo, Rúben Dias, R. Guerreiro - Rúben Neves, Otávio, Bernardo Silva - Bruno Fernandes, João Félix, Ronaldo.
