Rafael Leão is Portugal’s New No. 7

Portugal forward Rafael Leão has been handed the iconic No. 7 shirt ahead of the team’s Nations League clash against Denmark.

The Portuguese Football Federation announced the squad numbers for the upcoming match on Thursday, with Leão taking over the number previously associated with Football superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The No. 7 shirt has become closely identified with Ronaldo during his international career, making Leão’s appointment to the number a notable change for the Portugal squad.

Leão will now wear the shirt as Portugal prepare to face Denmark in the Nations League.
