Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo will set yet another record when he plays for Portugal at the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
The 39-year-old Al-Nassr forward is set to compete in a record sixth European Championship after being named in Roberto Martinez’s 26-man squad announced on Tuesday.
Ronaldo first competed at the Euros in 2004 as a 19-year-old teenager when Portugal last hosted the tournament and were beaten finalists in a 1-0 loss to Greece.
