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.

A second tweeted: "Did I just see Roberto Martinez of Spain sing the national anthem of Portugal? He had a massive smile on his face while singing! WTF?"

A third added: "Roberto Martinez singing the Portuguese national anthem was very weird."

A fourth said: "Something weird about Roberto Martinez singing the national anthem of a nation he isn’t from."

Another questioned: "What's with Roberto Martinez singing the Portuguese national anthem as a Spanish national."

Portugal topped Group F, having won two of their three group stage matches. They beat Czech Republic and Turkey before succumbing to Georgia.
