Portugal host Norway in the Nations League today, with Bernardo Silva and Martin Odegaard providing a potential sub-plot to the A4 clash at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto.
The two nations met seven days ago, though Portugal's impressive 2-1 win was not the main talking point. Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to leave the camp after not featuring in Oslo dominated the headlines, as did Odegaard's angry reaction towards Silva after a tackle that "doesn't belong on a football field" left the Arsenal captain fearing an ankle injury.
Odegaard and Silva clash again
While the midfielder was able to play the final few minutes of the match, he confronted Silva on the halfway line, squaring up to him and repeatedly appearing to shout: "F*** you." After the game, journalists managed to ask the Real Madrid summer signing about the challenge, and he responded: "What? That is football, my friend."
Odegaard made a swift recovery from the knock to start and provide an assist in Norway's loss to Wales on Thursday, meaning he is on a collision course with Silva this evening.
