Serbia got their direct pass to Qatar 2022 this Sunday, coming back against Portugal in Lisbon for the last day of group A of the European Qualifiers. After winning 2-1 on the hour, the Balkans sent the Portuguese to the playoffs, taking over the Da Luz stadium to celebrate in style. Bastian Schweinsteiger also celebrated from Germany.

The former Bayen midfielder spoke immediately after the match and made no secret of his joy at the result.

“That was pretty impressive! Congratulations on qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup ″, highlighted Schweinsteiger, who posed smiling with the celebrations of the Serbian players in the background, while Cristiano Ronaldo and company lamented for letting the victory slip away.

Despite needing only a draw and taking the lead in the second minute, Portugal was surprised by Serbia and will now have to play the playoffs to reach the World Cup.

The Portuguese team had a gray night and was dominated by the Serbs, who won the prize of the night thanks to goals from Tadic and Mitrovic.

The “quinas”, who started with a favorable goal difference, just a draw against Serbia, a team they had never lost to date, was enough.

But the Portuguese lacked brilliance and, with a Cristiano Ronaldo almost gone, they fell to a Serbia that deserved to win.
