This Tuesday evening, against Hungary, Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer in the history of the Euro, and also the first player to have played five editions.
Three new records to add to his prize list. As if he still needed it, to prove the immensity of the career he is in the process of realizing. This Tuesday, on the occasion of the match between Hungary and Portugal within the framework of the group stages of the Euro, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to play five editions of the Euro (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) and thus the first to have scored at least one goal in five different editions.
And so far, the captain of the Seleção was not satisfied with these two already very flattering data. With his double scored at the end of the meeting on Tuesday, the Portuguese overtook the French Michel platini in the ranking of the top scorers in the history of the competition. Since his first goal against Greece in 2004, CR7 currently has 11 goals in the competition, when the former number 10 of the Blues has scored “only” 9.
And as he plays, at 36, what will probably be the last Euro of his career, the Juventus striker will be keen to continue to carry his to the top and, if possible, make it even worse. plus the gap that now exists with the other great scorers in the history of the competition.
