As of today, Ronaldo has failed to score for Portugal in 10 consecutive matches at the World Cup and European Championship levels. According to Opta, during this barren run, Cristiano has registered a total of 33 shots, with 11 on target, but not a single one has found the back of the net.
It should be noted that the match against DR Congo ended in a 1-1 draw, with Ronaldo unable to break his scoring drought.
Reminder: The late Diogo Jota's parents were present at Portugal's match against DR Congo.
