The balding Germano, now 33, was on his last cap. Somewhat strange is the fact that in the photo above he is seen as team captain with the armband and pennant in his hand whereas all sources quote Mário Coluna (the one with the ball under his knee) as the Portuguese team captain.

If this photo above is 100% of the match against Bulgaria then most surely all sources are quoting a wrong Portuguese team captain.
