Coach Roberto Martinez confirmed that superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will start from the start in the final match against Georgia in Group F Euro 2024.
After 2 matches in Group F Euro 2024, the Portuguese team soon won the ticket to continue with 6 points. Coach Roberto Martinez’s team has shown its superior strength compared to the remaining opponents, thereby showing its ambition to win the most prestigious playground at the team level on the old continent.
However, Portuguese fans are probably still waiting for the moment when superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scores his first goal at Euro 2024. Because of this, coach Roberto Martinez has confirmed that the 39-year-old player will start in the match against Georgia’s national team in the final match, despite the “Selecao Europe”, soon won a ticket to continue.

The 50-year-old said: “Cristiano will start tomorrow. He is an important player. He has had a very consistent season and played every game, with a lot of minutes. To maintain a competitive rhythm, it is not a good idea to stop him now and then activate him again in six days.

The opponents in the round of 16 are not important right now. We are focusing on the match against Georgia. We want to win and give our best.”
Besides, Martinez also mentioned the security issue when Ronaldo was targeted by fans during the match against Turkey. The former Belgium coach was concerned about the safety of Ronaldo and his students, adding: “Cristiano is an experienced player, having been with the national team for more than 20 years.

He understands very well the meaning of support, not only from the national team’s fans but also from football fans. These intrusions are dangerous and not good for the image of football, they are not part of the game we want to see.”
With Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar will have the opportunity to break dozens of records at Euro 2024 if he scores against Georgia in the final round of the group stage, and this match will take place at 2:00 am tomorrow morning (June 27).
