Can't stop trying. Ronaldo's disastrous free-kick statistics at big tournaments

Today, the Portugal national team faces Slovenia in the Round of 16 at the 2024 European Championship.

In the first half, Roberto Martinez's squad earned two free kicks near the opponent's penalty area. The legendary Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to take both, but each time the ball went wide of the goal.

After the break, Portugal was awarded another free kick. This time, Ronaldo's shot was on target, but Jan Oblak made a crucial save for Slovenia.

Analysts at Squawka have calculated that Ronaldo has taken 59 free kicks in World Cup and European Championship tournaments throughout his career, scoring only once—against Spain in the 2018 World Cup.

It is worth noting that, at the time of this report, Ronaldo has yet to score a goal in Euro 2024.
