Roberto Martínez's trained Portugal exited the World Cup after losing to Spain.

An interesting coincidence is regarding the Portuguese elimination from this tournament.

Before the tournament, R. Martínez emphasized the importance of the number 6, believing in numerology.

On July 6, Portugal suffered a fateful defeat, and the decisive goal was scored by a player wearing number 6 – Mikel Merino.

After this tournament, R. Martínez is stepping down from the Portugal national team.
