    Cristiano Ronaldo was selected for Portugal’s Euro 2024 squad, meaning he will compete in his eleventh major international competition.

    The 39-year-old Al-Nassr forward is the most capped and prolific player in the history of international football with a record 206 games and 128 goals for Portugal.

    With 14 goals to his credit, The 39-year-old leads the tournament in goals scored (14) and match participation (25). Despite his team’s failure to win the league this season—Al Nassr—he tops the scoring charts in the Saudi Pro League with 33 goals and 11 assists.
