The Cristiano Ronaldo era is over the Eurocupafter Portugal was eliminated by France in the penalty shootout.
For CR7 it was the perfect opportunity to increase your legend in the tournament in which he had appeared six times, more than any other footballer.
However, it could not be, since its performance in the 2024 edition was not as outstanding as expected.
Although he played all the games (three in the group stage, round of 16 and quarterfinals) could not score a goal in regulation timein fact he failed from 11 steps in extra time against Slovenia.
His only goals came in his squad’s two penalty shootouts, precisely against Slovenia, after a goalless draw, and against ‘Les Blues’, after 120 minutes without goals on the scoreboard.
However, the ‘Bug’ leaves numbers that will be difficult to reach, at least not soon.
In their six appearances in the Euro He totaled 2,519 minutes and 30 games played, of which he won 1, more than any footballer. In addition, the captain scored 14 goals; Michel Platini, who comes closest to the mark, got 9.
His continuity with the Portuguese National Team remains up in the air, since at 39 years old he has not commented on the matter; although it is known that he will continue playing until his body allows it.
