Officially: Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in a list of 26 players called up by Roberto Martinez, Portugal coach, for the 2024 European Championship.
Announced among the top favorites for Euro 2024 after a qualifying campaign without a false note (10 wins in 10 matches), Portugal will present an attractive face this summer in Germany (June 14-July 14). Roberto Martinez, who revealed his list of 26 players on Tuesday, decided to rely on many of the elements already in place during the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, where the Seleção faced Morocco in the quarter-finals (0-1).
Obviously, among them is Cristiano Ronaldo. Although he has been in Saudi Arabia since January 2023, “CR7” continues to score goals with Al-Nasr’s shirt and therefore cannot miss this match, which, at the age of 39, may be his last major competition with the national team. . The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be accompanied in attack by Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto, Diogo Jota, Francisco Conceicao and Gonzalo Ramos.
