Missed many opportunities, Ronaldo still managed to set 2 EURO records

TPO - Portugal just met Türkiye in the match that decided the ticket to the next round. And they won a resounding 3-0 victory, thereby securing the top spot in Group F. This match helped Ronaldo set 2 records.

First, Ronaldo became the player who captained his national team the most times in the history of the EURO finals. In the match against Türkiye, Ronaldo played his 19th match as captain, surpassing Leonardo Bonucci, who played 18 times at EURO as captain of the Italian team.

The second record is the number of assists in the history of participating in the European championships. In the 55th minute, Ronaldo faced the Turkish goalkeeper but he did not finish and passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes to score. This was Ronaldo's 7th assist in EURO. He became the player with the most assists in the history of the tournament.

Ronaldo's 7th assist at EURO, helping him set a record

Karel Poborski has one fewer assist than Ronaldo. David Beckham, Arjen Robben, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Luis Figo, Cesc Fabregas and Bastian Schweinsteiger each have five assists.

With the most goals (14), most assists (7), and most matches (27), Ronaldo is truly an unbeatable monument in the continental arena. But against Türkiye, there is one regret that this striker could not score.

Like the opening match against the Czech Republic, Ronaldo was given many opportunities by his teammates. He was often the destination of the final shots for the maroon team. But sometimes Ronaldo finished gently, sometimes he touched the ball wrongly, causing the shot to become a clearance for the opponent.

In many other opportunities, the signs of age prevented Ronaldo from scoring himself and he had to pass the ball to his teammates. Overall, this was still a decent match for the 39-year-old star. What he probably lacked was a goal to set a new record, being the scorer in 6 EURO finals.
