Where and how to watch all Cristiano Ronaldo matches at Euro 2024?

The Portuguese star could be playing his last Euros

Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer carrying Portugal, having led the national team for so many years. He’s far along in his victory lap now. Ronaldo’s every move at a previous tournament was nuanced and might have changed the outcome, but the team no longer feels like they are in a soap opera every day.

Portugal’s initial open training session was held in Germany. 8,200 people showed out for the training at Gütersloh’s Heidewaldstadion on Friday; tickets were reportedly being sold for as much as €1,000 (£850), and of course, Ronaldo was embraced and jostled by a number of pitch invaders.

Almost twenty years ago, when the captain turned into a genuine megastar at Manchester United, Portugal’s performances at big tournaments have taken on a circus-like quality. Whatever the squad’s enduring elite calibre, the eras before, during, and after Cristiano will be radically different from one another.

Portugal are beginning to acknowledge the start of the third stage for the first time. When Roberto Martínez came over as head coach in January 2023, the Ronaldo issue appeared to be the most difficult inherited. However, as with many elements of the Spaniards’ successful rule thus far, the build-up to the issue has been more worrying than the actual occurrence.

Portugal’s qualification campaign saw Ronaldo, the team’s leading scorer with 10 goals earned 10 wins from 10 games that are a major feather in Martínez’s cap, be as dominant as ever in terms of men’s international football history.

Martínez’s ability to provide good service to Ronaldo without giving in to his every desire is a testament to his light touch as the coach, who was supposed to end the international career of the most powerful character in Portuguese football history, nevertheless managed to do so.

Portugal’s Euro 2024 group stage schedule

• 19 June: Portugal vs Czechia, 12:30 am IST, 18 June at 7 pm GMT
• 22 June: Portugal vs Turkey, 9:30 pm IST, 4 pm GMT
• 27 June: Portugal vs Georgia, 12:30 am IST, 26 June at 7 pm GMT

Records Ronaldo can break in Euro 2024

He and Iker Casillas presently have five tournament records between them, albeit the former Spain goalie did not participate in every one of them.

Ronaldo may surpass the record for the most appearances in a Euro final if Portugal advances to the championship game. He already has two finals experience shared with twenty-three other players. He might be the only player in history to have participated in three Euro 2024 finals.

If Portugal wins in 2024, Ronaldo would tie Iker Casillas’ record for most tournaments won as captain (two).
