Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived in Portugal and is ready to break new records at Euro 2024

In less than a week, the 2024 European Championship will commence. The tournament will be opened by the hosts, Germany, facing Scotland. The Portuguese national team, led by the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, will play their first match last in the opening round, meeting the Czech Republic on June 18.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to exhibit incredible form despite his age. At 39, he remains one of the most pivotal players for Al-Nassr and continues to break various records in the Middle East.

The upcoming continental tournament will likely be the last in Ronaldo's career, and possibly his final major tournament with the national team. Therefore, Ronaldo will aim to maximize this opportunity to further cement his legacy in Euro history.

Currently, the legendary Portuguese holds several records within the European Championships:

• Most tournaments with goals scored
  Cristiano Ronaldo has participated in five European Championships and scored in each. He is set to play in his sixth tournament, though it remains to be seen if he will score.
• Most appearances in the Euro Team of the Tournament
  Ronaldo, alongside Pepe, Laurent Blanc, and Paolo Maldini, has been included in the Euro Team of the Tournament three times. Ronaldo has the chance to set a new record if he achieves this feat again in Germany.
• Most matches played in the Euro finals
  Ronaldo has played 25 matches in the European Championship, the highest in the tournament's history. His closest competitors are his compatriots João Moutinho and Pepe (19 games), and Leonardo Bonucci (18).
• All-time leading goal scorer in Euro history
  Ronaldo has scored 14 goals across all European Championships, the highest in history. The closest to him is Michel Platini (9), and among active players, Antoine Griezmann (7).
• Most assists in Euro history
  Ronaldo has six assists, tying with Czech player Karel Poborský. Among active players, Kevin De Bruyne has five assists.

Additionally, Ronaldo has the potential to set new records during this tournament. He could become the second player after Iker Casillas to win two Euros consecutively as captain. If he wins the Golden Boot, he would be the first player to achieve this honor twice. Moreover, Ronaldo has created 42 chances throughout his Euro career, just one less than Luís Figo, so he only needs to create two more chances to break this record as well.
