NEWS: Cristiano Ronaldo looking to extend record after being named in Portugal squad for Euro 2024

The 39-year-old, who has made 206 appearances for his country, scoring 128 goals, has been included in head coach Roberto Martinez’s 26-man squad for the tournament in Germany, from June 14-July 14.

Ronaldo, currently playing for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, will play in his 11th major tournament for Portugal since helping them reach the Euro 2004 final in Lisbon, which they lost 1-0 to Greece.

He helped the Selecao das Quinas win Euro 2016 in France – his only major international trophy – scoring three goals in the tournament.

Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, made his senior debut for Portugal as an 18-year-old in 2003 and made his most recent appearance in a 2-0 friendly defeat to Slovenia in Ljubljana in March.
