On the early morning of July 6, Portugal was eliminated after losing to France in a penalty shootout, 3-5, and this year’s European Championship marks the first time in Ronaldo’s career that he has failed to score in a major tournament.
Ronaldo made his debut in major tournaments at the 2004 European Championship, where he contributed two goals and two assists. Since then, Portugal has not missed a World Cup or European Championship final, and Ronaldo has found the back of the net in every edition until his scoring streak was broken in this Euro.
Ronaldo’s goal-scoring record in international major tournaments:
2004 European Championship: 2 goals
2006 FIFA World Cup: 1 goal
2008 European Championship: 1 goal
2010 FIFA World Cup: 1 goal
2012 European Championship: 3 goals
2014 FIFA World Cup: 1 goal
2016 European Championship: 3 goals
2018 FIFA World Cup: 4 goals
2020 European Championship: 5 goals
2022 FIFA World Cup: 1 goal
2024 European Championship: 0 goals
