Renato Sanches has scored two goals in each tournament in which he played.
 Sanches also operated on the left of the midfield or in the middle, coming on the right side to play alongside Jonathan Bamba and Jonathan Ikon in attack or as a box-to-box, supporting the full-back in defense in a 4-4-2 formation
 Sanches had to compete with more experienced players like Arturo Vidal, Thiago and Xabi Alonso for playing time
