Makes four tackles Monday

Neves registered one shot (zero on goal) and four tackles (two won) in Monday's 1-0 loss against Spain.

Analysis: Neves excelled in tackling and one-on-one duels, but his effort was not enough for his squad to avoid defeat in the second knockout round of the 2026 World Cup. The holding midfielder finished with one goal, in addition to averages of 49.0 accurate passes, 4.2 duels won and 2.6 tackles per contest over five appearances (four starts). He has been a reliable asset for both club and country lately, and the experience at the top level will likely help him to further establish himself as a strong all-around performer in the future.

90-minute shift against Croatia

Neves had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Croatia.

Analysis: Neves was back in the starting XI for Portugal after a bench role in their group stage finale, not just starting but playing the full 90. He would record a chance created, one shot and a cross, although he did a bit more in the defense with his five tackles. He remains a major player for the team as they advance to the round of 16, a young boost of energy in an experienced midfield.
