Cristiano Ronaldo is almost 40 years old. Still playing 90 minutes on the field, even 120 minutes. Ronaldo, whose goal records are all falling, did not get a goal in this year’s Euro!
He had a great chance to score from the penalty spot against Slovenia in the last 16 match. But the Portuguese superstar missed the penalty. After that, I cried. No one could calm him down. However, in the end, Portugal won the tiebreaker and advanced to the quarter-finals.
But on Friday (July 05, 2024), Portugal and Ronaldo left this season’s Euro after losing 5-3 to France in the tiebreaker.
No, Ronaldo didn’t cry anymore. However, his teammates hugged him and cried. Especially Pepe. French coach Didier Deschamps also came and hugged Ronaldo. But Ronaldo didn’t cry anymore. He was walking through the tunnel on the way to the dressing room with his yoke tight and writing silent poems of sadness.
The 39-year-old Ronaldo played in a record sixth Euro tournament. That too without scoring a goal. It was the first goalless stay of his career. He played for Portugal for 20 consecutive years. He is the only footballer who has played a maximum of 30 matches in the previous five seasons in the Euro and scored a maximum of 14 goals. Assisted 8. Has won the highest number of wins, also won the Euro title.
There may be many things to ask for in one life. But Ronaldo’s power bag is almost full. He did not win the only World Cup. This time he had to return from the quarter final even with the goal of winning the Euro. This return may be the end, and CRSeven may not be seen on the Euro stage. The eyes of football lovers will surely find a Ronaldo. A superstar.
