Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo shared a pitch 131 times as professionals during their respective careers, sharing some of the biggest stages in world football. Whether it was training together in Lisbon, lighting up Old Trafford, winning the Champions League in Moscow or hoisting up the European Championship in Paris, the pair have achieved almost all there is to achieve in the game. While their careers have now taken different paths, the bond between them remains as strong as ever.

We are playing in front of our fans against a team we respect, but they're a team against whom we want to demonstrate our level and secure qualification. Armenia are a team that tries to play. They're very intelligent and have creative ability. Defensively, they have a solid back five. They're a very competitive team, which we respect a lot. I really like the coach's work.

Knowing that they can officially punch their World Cup ticket on Thursday night, Ireland will travel to Dublin when they meet Ireland. Only continuing to shine since their Nations League success over the summer, Roberto Martinez's men have continued to receive a string of plaudits from across the continent and they will be hoping to wrap up top spot in Group F with another statement.

Portugal, the reigning Nations League champions, are unbeaten in five matches and have started qualifying in ruthless fashion, thrashing Armenia 5-0 before beating Hungary 3-2 in early September. Meanwhile, Ireland, under the management of Heimir Hallgrimsson, are winless in four and have so far picked up just one point in Group F following a 2-2 draw with Hungary and 2-1 defeat to Armenia.
