From António to Salvador: Portugal’s Eurovision journey

It’s all over for another year and Portugal has taken the Eurovision trophy. But how did they get there?

Join the Portuguese history lesson in the 2017 winner’s show, as we go from their first nul points in 1964 to the biggest win of all time thanks to Sal and Luisa.

It’s a bumpy ride (especially with Michael’s inability to speak Portuguese). Hang on!
