Despite having turned 39 years old in the beginning of 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo is still capable leading his team to victory. The Portuguese superstar broke multiple records in the EURO 2024 and he still plans on continuing his legend for Portugal...

Cristiano Ronaldo entered the 2024 European Championship following an impressive season with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Despite being 39 years old, Ronaldo demonstrated remarkable form by scoring 35 goals, setting a new record for the most goals in a single league season. He earned the Golden Boot and reinforced his reputation as one of the top scorers in the world. Ronaldo's consistent scoring ability and overall impact on Al Nassr made it clear why he remained a key figure for Portugal heading into Euro 2024.

Record-Breaking Appearance

By participating in Euro 2024, Ronaldo set a new record by appearing in his sixth European Championship, a feat unmatched by any other player.

The tournament also extended his lead in several records, including the most matches played in the history of the European Championships, with 26 appearances and a total of 2,155 minutes on the pitch. Ronaldo's fitness and speed at this age are remarkable and have helped him make this record appearance at the highest level.

Sports betting fans were hoping for Ronaldo's glory, betting on him to finish with a Euro title, but France won the quarterfinal against Portugal, ending Ronaldo's journey in Euro 2024.




Performance in the 2024 Euros

Ronaldo played five matches in the tournament, logging 486 minutes on the field. Despite his efforts, he did not score from open play but netted two crucial penalties in shootouts. The first came during the Round of 16 against Slovenia.

In regular time, Ronaldo had a golden opportunity to score. Still, Jan Oblak saved his penalty, leading to a dramatic moment in which Ronaldo had to redeem himself later in the shootout. He successfully converted his penalty during the shootout, helping Portugal advance to the quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinal match against France, Ronaldo scored another penalty during the shootout, but he missed key chances during regular play. His xG (expected goals) was 2.75, the second-highest in the tournament, but his finishing was not up to his usual standard, resulting in no goals from open play. Nonetheless, his passing accuracy and game awareness were vital for Portugal's attacking moves, showcasing his strategic importance to the team.

Ronaldo's Standout Stats

Throughout the tournament, Ronaldo maintained impressive physical and technical stats. Betting platforms like Pinnacle ranked him as a strong contender for the Golden Boot, reflecting the high expectations for his performance. However, despite having the most shots of any player in the tournament (23), with nine on target, he failed to score a single goal.

Ronaldo reached a top speed of 32.71 km/h and covered a total distance of 49.64 km, averaging 9.4 km per match. He was very accurate in passing, with an accuracy of 85.8%, completing 80 out of 92 passes.

Additionally, he had 7 successful dribbles made 1 run into the penalty area, and was effectively involved in the game. Despite the lack of goals, his stats show he was among the top players in overall performance.




Summary

Critics may argue that his presence limits the team's flexibility, but his experience, leadership, and Pepe's were crucial. Ronaldo's dedication and influence were clear with his record-breaking sixth Euro appearance.

Even without scoring from open play, his presence on the field boosted the team's morale and coordination. His contributions go beyond scoring, showing how much he means to the team and how impactful his experience is.
