Fans genuinely can't believe what Roberto Martinez did during Portugal's national anthem ahead of their last-16 clash against Slovenia.

Portugal are aiming to book their spot in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

The Euro 2016 winners are currently facing Slovenia in Frankfurt.

But the tie between Portugal and Slovenia got fans talking before a ball was even kicked.

People on social media couldn't understand Martinez singing Portugal's national anthem.

Martinez, a Spanish national, belted out 'A Portuguesa' along with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo before their Euros showdown to the dismay of fans online.
