The long and successful career of Cristiano Ronaldo It will have a small taint when the Euro Cup ends for Portugal after losing to France in the quarterfinals on penalties.
For the first time in his sports career he left a major national team tournament (World Cup or Euro Cup) without a visible goal. Its beginnings were in 2004 and 20 years later, its Euro 2024 failed to do justice to the legend of CR7. Without the speed or flash of the past, something that could be used, he was also erratic towards the end, his great asset.
He tried every possible way; with a header, with a right foot, with a left foot, from a free kick and even from a penalty. But he has yet to score against the Czech Republic, Türkiye, Georgia, Slovenia or France. The only consolation is that in the two rounds Portugal played they did their part and scored.
At 39 years old, as he himself acknowledged, this will be his last Euro Cup. Of course, he will leave as the highest assist in the history of Euro Cups with six assists on goals and has the respect of the football world.
