Fans slam one Portugal star for 'disastrous performance' against Czechia in Euro 2024 opener

Fans have singled out one Portugal star following their 2-1 victory at Euro 2024 against Czechia.

Portugal are tipped as potential favourites for the tournament but they looked far from it in Leipzig on Tuesday night despite grabbing a late winner.

Cristiano Ronaldo showed moments of class but failed to convert any of his chances in his side's 2-1 win.

The Al-Nassr forward was denied by Jindrich Stanek from close range in the first half, but the 39-year-old did look offside.

Diogo Jota thought he'd won it at the death with a header from close range, however, Ronaldo was deemed to be offside in the build up.

Portugal eventually got their reward in the 92nd minute from substitute Francisco Conceicao who couldn't miss from inside the six-yard box.

Despite all the focus being on whether Ronaldo would be up to speed for the top level, it was actually Manchester City star Bernardo Silva who didn't impress.

Silva is widely regarded as one of the world's best players since his move to from Monaco to City in 2017, but has often struggled to make the same impact on the international stage.

Fans took to social media to have their say on the 29-year-old's performance.

One fan wrote: "First Foden then De Bruyne and now Bernardo Silva, all City players stinking it up without Pep's system."

A second commented: "Bernardo Silva is basically the Phil Foden of Portugal, never turns up for his country."

Another added: "Bernardo Silva adding himself to a growing list of City players who can't perform outside Pep's system at the Euros."

A fourth said: "No football fan wants to watch Bernardo Silva play over Pedro Neto. Guy plays like 40 year old Iniesta’s Japan stint."
