Surpassed Ronaldo. The Real Madrid prodigy has set several achievements at European Championships
The Turkish national team secured three points in their opening match of the 2024 European Championship. In an exciting Group F encounter, Turkey defeated Georgia 3:1.
Turkish wunderkind and Real Madrid player Arda Güler became the youngest player to score in his debut European Championship match. At 19 years and 114 days old, he surpassed the previous record held by Cristiano Ronaldo (19 years and 128 days), set at Euro 2004.
Additionally, the five chances created by Güler in the match against Georgia are the most for a player under 20 years old in a single game at a continental tournament since 1980.
In the second match of Group F's first round, Portugal faces the Czech Republic. The match kicked off at 21:00 Central European Time.
Notably, Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo set a unique European Championship record by starting from the first minute against the Czech Republic.
