The UEFA Euro 2024 is around the corner with hosts Germany scheduled to take on Scotland at the Allianz Arena on Friday night. Ahead of the European championship, the 2016 winners, Portugal received a major boost with their star forward Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace against Ireland in a 3-0 win in their final warm-up game on Tuesday.
Roberto Martinez's side are placed in Group F alongside Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Georgia, which many believed is the easiest group for one of the tournament favourites. Ahead of stepping into his sixth European championship, Ronaldo already has many records under his belt in the UEFA Euros including the all-time leading goal-scorer, most matches played, scoring in five editions.
However, there are some milestones and achievements that the Portuguese legend would aim to conquer in the Euro 2024. In this article, we will look at the records that the 39-year-old Ronaldo could break with Portugal in the Euro 2024.
900 Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo is already the leading goal scorer in Euros with 14 goals, having two goals in 2004, one in 2008, three each in 2012 and 2016, and five goals in 2021. In his career, the 39-year-old has 130 international goals and 855 goals across all competitions. Cristiano can extend his all-time leading goal scorer award as he is just five goals shy of reaching a milestone of 900 career goals.
