Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho has made a big claim about Portugal for the 2024 European Championship.
The 2016 champions get their campaign underway on Tuesday night against Czech Republic.
Roberto Martinez has some big names to choose from for the tournament and Mourinho feels no other team in the tournament has a better squad than Portugal.

"I don't want to say Portugal are the best team, but Spain, France, England, Germany are not better," Mourinho said, as per the Mirror.
"The best problem for a coach is having to choose who to play, because there are two great right-backs, two great left-backs, two great positional midfielders – and I say two only because there is a 23-man squad but there are more."
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid tactician also gave his thoughts on the favourites for the tournament and a possible surprise package.
"If there is a surprise, I will be surprised! France and Germany always do well, Portugal and England are better than ever.
"These four teams. I'm not certain about Spain but the football they play and the players they have are of the highest quality. Italy or Belgium would be a surprise."
