**Euro 2025: Italy vs. Portugal – Everything at Stake in Geneva Clash**

**Geneva, Switzerland –** A pivotal Group B match at Euro 2025 unfolds tonight at the Stade de Geneve as Italy face Portugal in a contest with major implications for both teams’ quarter-final aspirations.

Italy, fresh off a 1-0 victory against Belgium, can secure their place in the last eight with a win. A draw for Italy would also mean that Belgium are unable to reach the quarter-finals.

For Portugal, the equation is simple: they must avoid defeat after suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Spain in their opening match. Spain’s 6-2 victory over Belgium earlier today has cranked up the pressure, meaning a loss for Portugal would see them eliminated from the tournament.

Portugal have struggled in previous Euros, failing to qualify for the first six editions and finishing bottom of their group in the last two tournaments. Despite this, they went unbeaten during qualification for Euro 2025. Manager Francisco Neto has made five changes to the starting lineup, including a change in goal, in an attempt to revitalize his team.

Italy, meanwhile, remain unchanged from their winning lineup against Belgium, signalling confidence in their current form.

Norway have already qualified for the quarter-finals, and Spain will follow suit if Portugal fail to win tonight.
