For Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates, this match serves as the second-to-last warm-up before their World Cup campaign kicks off against Congo on June 17 in Group K.

Ronaldo is set to compete in his sixth World Cup and is aiming to lead his nation to a strong finish in the tournament. He is supported by a talented squad that blends experienced veterans with rising stars, including key PSG midfielder Vitinha.

Chile, on the other hand, enters this friendly with less pressure. Having failed to qualify for the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, the team is in a rebuilding phase. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with four wins and four losses in their last ten matches.

The only previous meeting between these two nations was in the 2017 Confederations Cup semifinals. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, with Chile advancing to the final after a dominant 3-0 victory in the penalty shootout.

Key Statistics

The Portugal National Team has scored 20 goals in the six official matches they have played in 2026. The Portuguese side has conceded 7 goals across those six fixtures. Chile has scored 9 goals and conceded 27 in the 18 official matches they have played this year.
