Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the record for the number of appearances made in a EURO finals in Portugal’s final Group F game against Hungary on Wednesday.
Not content with breaking the Portugal appearances record with his 128th cap on Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo has reached another milestone against Hungary tonight.
The Portugal captain moves ahead of Lilian Thuram, the former France defender, and Netherlands goalkeeping great Edwin van der Sar with his 17th UEFA European Championship finals appearance.
And there’s more: the Real Madrid forward could yet become the first player to score infour different EURO final tournaments.
Ronaldo is the UEFA European Championship’s all-time time top scorer – qualifying and finals combined – with 26 goals. His three previous EUROs have yielded a quarter-final (2008), a semi (2012) and a runners-up berth (2004), as well as six goals for the man himself.
His individual achievements are well documented. Not only has the 31-year-old won three UEFA Champions Leagues, he has picked up three Ballons d’Or and is both Real Madrid and Portugal’s all-time leading scorer.
