14 goals in 25 games!Cristiano Ronaldo went to the European Cup for the sixth time, breaking 3 major records and dancing for the championship
In the early morning of December 3, Beijing time, the draw for the 2024 European Championship has been officially released, and the major giants will start the battle for the Delaunay Cup in Germany on June 14 next year. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal have a good place in the draw, along with the Czech Republic, Turkey and the play-off winners, and next year will be Ronaldo's sixth European Championship appearance, which will be his last chance to win the European Cup.
As early as 2004, Ronaldo, who was only 19 years old at the time, represented Portugal for the first time in the European Cup, and Ronaldo, who was also called "Little Ronaldo", scored his first goal in the European Cup. In Euro 2008, Portugal lost to Germany and fell in the quarter-finals, and in 2012, Portugal made it all the way to the semi-finals, but lost to Spain on penalties, and Ronaldo was out again.
On the contrary, in 2016, a civilian Portugal came together, knocking out Croatia, Poland and Wales to reach the final without being favored, and relying on Ed's winning goal to defeat France and win the European Championship for the first time in team history. Cristiano Ronaldo also fell first and then rose in that tournament, in the first two group games of the dumb fire and missed penalties, in the third round of the group stage 2 shots and 1 pass, semi-final pass led the team to the final, if not for Ronaldo's brave performance, Portugal may not be able to reach the final.
It is a little regrettable that Portugal, which has been improved in the last edition, was out early in the first round of the knockout round, and Ronaldo also missed the opportunity to defend the title, but Ronaldo still left a proud record in the history of the European Championship, first of all, Ronaldo has played 5 European Cups, if there is no injury reason, then Ronaldo will become the first player to play in the European Championship 6 times next year. At the same time, Ronaldo has made 25 appearances in the European Championship, which is also the most in history, and has scored a total of 14 goals, which is the all-time top scorer in the European Cup, and the second place Platini only has 9 goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also on fire, scoring 10 goals in 9 games, second only to Lukaku with 14 goals; For Ronaldo, who will be 39 years old in 2 months, next year's European Cup may be the last dance of his national team competition, after all, in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the president is already 41 years old, and there are many more factors to consider whether he can participate.
