translation - (Diogo Dalot on being called up for the World Cup in Qatar) “There are moments that last forever, and being on this call-up will be one of them. We will carry the history of Portugal with us… We are from a land that explored, discovered, conquered and spread its culture to the 4 corners of the world.”
