"Cristiano is a player who is playing in his fourth final for the national team," Martinez said. "He's incredible, an example. I love his hunger. He's a player who has won everything and the next day he's starting from scratch.

"For Rodrigo Mora, Quenda, Joao Neves to arrive in the locker room and be able to work with Cristiano is a gift. I hope tomorrow is a memorable day in our careers. I think the team's work is what happens in the locker room.

"We have to help the players enjoy the game, make a difference and win. In two and a half years, our work in the locker room has been mutual. We all have a total commitment, it's a supportive locker room that likes responsibility."
