It can now be asserted that Cristiano Ronaldo is the “king” of the European Nations Cup. This is confirmed by the numbers, even if the player has failed to score with Portugal in Euro 2024 so far.
Portugal won 3-0 over Turkey in the second round of the Euro 2024 group stage, with the Sailors officially qualifying for the round of 16.
Ronaldo did not score in the match, but he made the third goal, which came from Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes.
Thus, Ronaldo became the player with the most goals in the history of Euro competitions, with 8 assists, on par with Czech legend Karl Poborski.
The 39-year-old’s achievements and records continue in the Euro, as in addition to being the most goalscorer, he is the competition’s all-time top scorer with 14 goals.
In addition, Ronaldo is the player who has participated most in the competition in 6 consecutive editions, which means that the majority of important records are registered in the name of the Portuguese legend.
