I'm trying to remember when was the last time we had 2 Portuguese men in the European top 10... was it with the Andrade brothers in 2021?

@diego Wish I could add to your very comprehensive list of recorded milestones by mentioning the exact last time two Portuguese men were in the European male top 10, but I'm honestly not sure myself (since, unlike the worldwide male top 10, that list would have included semi-supercentenarians). However, I do believe it was most likely in 2021, since supercentenarians Joaquim Valente and Albano Andrade both died that year (on 10 May and 29 June respectively), and so did semi-supercentenarian Alberto Andrade, younger brother of Albano Andrade (on 8 October).

Your contribution is very welcome, I just didn't include it as well because I wasn't sure, I only added the information after the tables started being released here.
Thank you very much for bringing this data.
But I also believe that was the last time..
@musicotic, @ale76,@Gabriel_PT do you know if this was the last time we had two Portuguese people on this list?
Or can anyone reading this confirm if this was the last time we had two Portuguese people in the top 10?

Since the passing of Mr. Arnold Leissler (21 May 1911 - 13 March 2021), a German-born Polish man, on 13 March 2021, Portugal has had 3 men in the top 10 oldest living men in Europe:

Thank you very much, it was better than we expected. Three Portuguese people on the list is an excellent number for Portugal and for any country. 30% of the list is a very good percentage in a continent with so many countries.
