Portugal are predicted by Jose Mourinho to defeat England in the final of Euro 2024. The much-awaited competition begins on Friday with Germany, the hosts, playing Scotland. Three years ago, Gareth Southgate’s team reached the final of the European Championship, but they lost on penalties to Italy.
If Mourinho’s forecast comes true, England supporters may be in for additional suffering and heartache.
Nonetheless, the seasoned Portuguese coach predicted that Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane would win individual awards.
He thinks Bellingham is going to be the player of the competition, which may provide some solace for losing out on the championship, and that Kane of Bayern Munich will lead the scoring statistics and win the Golden Boot. In addition to Portugal and England, Mourinho listed France as one of his top three choices, saying he doesn’t see any other country vying for the championship.
Along with this, he also expects Vinicius Jr. to be take home the Ballon D’or award.
