Cristiano Ronaldo is set to extend his international appearances record after being selected for Portugal’s Euro 2024 squad, and he is proud of it.
At 39, Ronaldo has already made 206 appearances for his country, scoring 128 goals. He has been named in head coach Roberto Martinez’s 26-man squad for the tournament in Germany, which runs from June 14 to July 14.
Ronaldo shared a photo of himself in the new Portugal kit on Instagram, captioning it: “Proud to be back representing Portugal at Euro. Let’s go with it!”
This marks Ronaldo’s sixth inclusion in Portugal’s roster for the European Championship, further extending his records in the competition, as reported by Goal.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who currently plays for Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, holds multiple records in the tournament. He has participated in the most editions, played the most matches (25), scored the most goals (14), and will become the oldest player to appear at the Euros.
Portugal will kick off their tournament with a Group F game against the Czech Republic on June 18.
