Cristiano Ronaldo set another crazy record at Euro 2024. To be precise, that record is that Ronaldo officially became the highest assist scorer in the history of the Euro, which proves that CR7 is not a selfish player!
Previously, at the start of Euro 2024 during the Portugal vs Czech Republic match, Ronaldo immediately set two fantastic records. The Al Nassr player has officially become the player with the most appearances at the Euros, as well as the footballer with the most participation at the Euros.
Ronaldo previously owned these two records, but he broke his own record at Euro 2024. At that time Ronaldo made 26 appearances at the Euros with the Portuguese national team, if you count the Turkey match, then he has played 27 matches at the Euros!
Then, with his entry into the starting line-up for the Portugal vs Czech national team, Ronaldo became the first player to appear in six Euro final tournaments. Now, he has set another record in the match against Turkey, specifically as the highest assist scorer at the Euros with the 7 assists he has scored.
“Cristiano Ronaldo has now provided the most assists than any other player in the history of the European Championship (7),” read a tweet from the Squawka account, quoted on Sunday (23/6/2024).
By scoring the most assists, it is proven that Ronaldo is not a selfish player like many people say. The latest assist recorded by Ronaldo also shows this.
In the second matchday of Group F Euro 2024 which was held at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, Dortmund, Germany on Saturday 22 June 2024, Ronaldo actually had the opportunity to score a goal in the 56th minute. CR7 was without pressure because at that time Portugal was already 2-0 up thanks to Bernardo Silva’s goal (21′) and Samet Akaydin’s own goal (28′).
However, Ronaldo, who had a 1 vs 1 duel with Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindi, chose to pass it to Bruno Fernandes. As a result, the Manchester United player’s name was visible on the scoreboard in the 56th minute.
Ronaldo’s action immediately received a lot of praise on social media. This proves that Ronaldo is not actually a selfish player as is often discussed on social media.
Next, Ronaldo cs will face Georgia in the final match of Group F Euro 2024, on Thursday 27 June 2024. Portugal itself has confirmed itself to qualify for the last 16 as winners of Group F.
