Euro 2024 can be considered Cristiano Ronaldo’s last major tournament when he is 39 years old. Therefore, after winning the European championship 8 years ago, CR7 will join the Portuguese team in a new conquest, starting with the match against the Czech Republic.
Portugal won all 10 matches in the qualifying round, in which Ronaldo contributed 10 goals. Combined with scoring 50 goals in 51 matches for Al Nassr last season, it’s clear that the former MU and Real Madrid star is still prolific when it comes to finding success.
