The five-time Ballon d'Or winner played more time (486 minutes) in Portugal's squad at the Euros that ended last month. But did not get a single goal. He cried after missing a penalty in extra time against Slovenia. He didn't miss his shot in the tiebreaker though.
The euro, however, began with high hopes. Played 11 major tournaments in an illustrious career. After leaving Manchester United in 2022 and joining the Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr, Chande was there as well. In the 2023–24 season, he played in the Euros in the jersey of Portugal after scoring 50 goals. However, the question was how much he can do in international football at the age of 39. The question that has been made bigger than the goalless in the Euros is easy to imagine.
But the fans do not lose hope because the man is Ronaldo. Many times before this, Ronaldo has broken and reinvented himself. It goes without saying that the euro's failure will make it desperate to turn around. Ronaldo is now preparing for the 2024–25 season. He has already returned to Saudi Arabia after the end of the season vacation. Attended pre-season training.
Next Sunday, Ronaldo's club Al Nasr will play a friendly match against the Spanish club Granada. Immediately after this, Al Nasr will take the field in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final against Al Town on August 14, aiming for the first trophy of the season.
Even at the age of 39, Ronaldo is as excited as ever!
