Yesterday, in the Euro 2024 quarterfinal match, France knocked Portugal out of the tournament in a penalty shootout.

The tournament did not go well for the main star of the "European Selecao," Cristiano Ronaldo.

As we reported earlier, for the first time in his career, he failed to score a goal in a major international tournament. In five matches at the Euro, the Al-Nassr forward recorded just one assist.

Additionally, Ronaldo did not manage to convert any of his 23 shots on target at Euro 2024. This is the highest number of unsuccessful attempts by a player who did not score a single goal in a major tournament (World Cup or Euro) since the 2010 World Cup, when Lionel Messi took 29 shots without scoring for Argentina.

It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo holds numerous records, including those for national teams. He is the record holder for the number of matches played for Portugal and for all national teams in general, as well as the top scorer for Portugal, in national teams, and in European Championships.
