On the other hand, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso told a joint press conference that followed his meeting with Aznar - in preparation to the European Summit of Seville - that "we congratulate Spain for its direct qualification" and looked forward at the Portuguese national team be successful in its coming matches.
