On Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at 17:05 PM (GMT+7), football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is on the brink of setting an unparalleled record at Euro 2024.

At 2:00 AM on June 19, the Portuguese national team will officially kick off their Euro 2024 campaign with a match against the Czech Republic in their first Group F game at Leipzig Stadium.

All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo, who might be playing in his final Euro tournament at the age of 39. Football fans around the globe are eagerly anticipating every moment CR7 laces up his boots.

If Ronaldo takes the field against the Czech Republic, he will make history as the first player to compete in six consecutive European Championships.

A Record-Breaking Feat

Ronaldo is on the verge of an unprecedented achievement, likely to come true given his strong chance of not only playing but potentially starting the match. Born in 1985, the star forward has already participated in five Euros: 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.

In his debut at Euro 2004 with the Portuguese national team, Ronaldo, then a promising 19-year-old talent, had the honor of playing alongside legends such as Luis Figo, Deco, Pauleta, and Nuno Gomes.

The most significant highlight of Ronaldo’s Euro career came in 2016 when he led Portugal to victory against host nation France in the final. Although an early injury sidelined him during the final match, Ronaldo’s contributions throughout the tournament were instrumental in Portugal’s triumph.

The Final Chapter?

At 39, Ronaldo is one of the oldest players at Euro 2024, ranking second on the list of veteran participants, just behind his teammate Pepe, who is 41 years and 3 months old.

Portugal’s head coach, Roberto Martinez, has been impressed with Ronaldo’s consistent performance. The forward has scored 50 goals in 51 club matches and 9 goals during the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Martinez, 50, believes that Ronaldo’s ability to stretch the opposition’s defense, create space for his teammates, and be the target for decisive passes will be crucial for Portugal’s success in the tournament.

As Ronaldo prepares to potentially cap his illustrious career with a sixth Euro appearance, the world watches in anticipation, ready to celebrate yet another milestone in the legacy of one of football’s greatest icons.
