Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to lead Portugal to yet another continental triumph at the UEFA Euro 2024. At 39, the striker is still a valuable contributor to the national team, both on and off the field.

Apart from being the most talented player the country has ever produced, Ronaldo provides some necessary veteran presence on the squad. On top of that, he knows what is like to succeed on the international stage.

Cristiano helped Portugal win their first ever European Championship in 2016, but he wants to make it two continental titles before hanging up his boots. Will he go the distance this year in Germany?

After scoring his penalty in the shootout win over Poland in the quarterfinals, Ronaldo helped Portugal make the final by recording a goal and an assist to beat Wales 2-0 in the semis.

Unfortunately, an injury forced the striker off the field only 25 minutes into the final against France. Until then, Ronaldo had played every Portugal match entirely. But this blow didn’t prevent the Madeira native from celebrating, as he got to lift the trophy thanks to Eder’s winner in extra time.
