Portugal Home Shirt 2004

In 2004, Portugal, coached by Luiz Felipe Scolari, hosted UEFA Euro 2004 and produced a dramatic, historic run. The squad mixed established stars like Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Deco, and Ricardo Carvalho with rising talent Cristiano Ronaldo. After a shock 2–1 defeat to Greece in their opening match, Portugal regrouped, defeating Russia and Spain to top their group. They overcame England on penalties in the quarter-finals and edged the Netherlands 2–1 in the semis, reaching their first major final. In Lisbon, however, they were stunned again by Greece, losing 1–0, a heartbreaking end to an otherwise thrilling tournament.
