(Dan Tri) - The Euro 2024 group stage has ended and confirmed that many records in this tournament have been broken, in which Cristiano Ronaldo is the one who set the most new milestones.
As expected, Ronaldo set many new records when playing for the Portuguese national team at the age of 39. The striker born in 1985 became the only player to play in 6 Euro tournaments, since 2004. He is also the oldest captain, at 39 years and 142 days, after Portugal lost 0-2 to Georgia. In addition, CR7 is also the oldest player to have an assist (39 years and 138 days), when he helped Bruno Fernandes seal a 3-0 victory over Türkiye (Photo: Getty). In addition, Ronaldo still has the opportunity to break a series of records at Euro such as goals (14), assists (7), matches (28), minutes played (2399), and goals from penalties (3).
