Ronaldo set a record of attending EURO for the sixth time

Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to set one of the most impressive records in his career when playing in the 6th EURO finals. On Tuesday, Roberto Martinez announced the Portuguese team list for EURO 2024, which, unsurprisingly, includes long-time captain CR7.

The Al Nassr striker tops the list of 26 players, including official players such as Rui Patricio, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Danilo Pereira, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, and, of course, Pepe . At 41, the centre-back remаins a long-term mainstay at Porto and has won another major tournament with Quinas.

Among the new additions to the team is Francisco Conceicao, a winger for Porto who has scored eight goals and provided six assists this season. At the age of 21, he debuted for the national team on March 26 and was among those called up by Roberto Martinez, which included young players such as Antonio Silva, Goncalo Inacio and Joao Neves.

Pepe is still the mainstay of Portugal’s defense

However, the Portuguese press questioned the coach because of some important absences, such as Pedro Goncalves, Francisco Trincao and Ricardo Horta. Regarding the Sporting Braga captain, coach Roberto Martinez said he has “other specialist players” for what the national team needs, although he emphasized that he had “a dream season”.

They then have just a week left before they play the Czech Republic in Group F, where they also face Turkey and Georgia.
