Having played a significant role in Portugal’s Euro 2016 victory, Cristiano Ronaldo finished as one of the top scorers at Euro 2020, despite Portugal’s early exit in the Round of 16.
At the age of 39, Ronaldo has an impressive goal-scoring record at the international level with 130 goals, setting an all-time men’s record. He scored 10 goals in nine matches during the qualification round, showcasing his prowess as a goal-scoring machine.
As Euro 2024 approaches, Ronaldo’s performance against the nations in Group F will be crucial in determining Portugal’s success.
Ronaldo’s Performance against Czechia
Ronaldo has had a successful track record against Czechia in European Championships, scoring in matches at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. However, in their recent Nations League encounters, although Czechia lost both games, Ronaldo failed to find the net.
The clash between Ronaldo and Patrik Schick, the joint-top scorers of Euro 2020, ended in a goalless draw as neither player managed to score in Portugal’s 2-1 victory.
Ronaldo’s Performance against Turkey
In their four encounters with Ronaldo, Turkey has managed to keep a clean sheet, with Ronaldo failing to score in any of the matches. Despite losses in Euro 2008 and World Cup qualification, Ronaldo was unable to find the back of the net against Turkey.
Although Turkey suffered another defeat in their latest match against Ronaldo, he once again failed to score, but he did provide a record seventh assist during the Euro 2024 tournament.
Ronaldo’s Performance against Georgia
Portugal’s group will include Georgia, the winner of playoff path C. Ronaldo’s only encounter with Georgia was a scoreless 45-minute appearance in a friendly prior to Euro 2008.
Georgia will be making their major tournament debut, providing Ronaldo with an opportunity to shine against unfamiliar opponents.
