Chasing More Records at Euro 2024
Ronaldo’s record-breaking career is filled with milestones. At Euro 2024 he needs just one goal to extend his scoring streak across six tournaments.
If the Portuguese forward scores he will also become the oldest goal-scorer in the history of the Euros.
Ronaldo is not just aiming for individual records; he wants to lead Portugal to another European Championship victory. Only Spain’s Iker Casillas has captained his team to two Euro titles a feat Ronaldo hopes to match.
Portugal’s Chances in Germany
Portugal enters the Euro 2024 with high confidence having qualified with a perfect record. Playing under coach Roberto Martinez Ronaldo remains central to their strategy. Despite his age, Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr has rejuvenated his scoring ability as he netted 35 goals in the Saudi Pro League.
Portugal’s group stage opponents, Turkey, Georgia, and Czechia are not among the top 35 in FIFA rankings giving Portugal a strong chance to lead their group. With Ronaldo’s leadership and Martinez’s tactical acumen, Portugal aims to be a formidable force in the tournament.
As fans worldwide watch in anticipation the big question remains: Can Ronaldo lead Portugal to another triumphant Euro campaign? Only time will tell if there will be tears of joy for CR7 and his team in Germany.
