Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever the play game and has won pretty much everything there is to win, especially at club level.

His career spans over 20 years, during which he has won titles in Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia.

He currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and set the record for the most goals scored in a single season in 2024. 

The 39-year-old is competing in his 11th major international tournament this summer, having been named in the Portugal squad for the 2024 European Championship.

Here, The Sporting News takes a look at his record in the tournament and Portugal's schedule in Germany.

Has Cristiano Ronaldo won the Euros?

Cristiano Ronaldo won the European Championship in 2016 when his Portugal side beat France 1-0 in extra time, thanks to a long-range strike from Eder.

Ronaldo started the game but was forced off through injury after just 25 minutes of the final.

He was injured after a collision with Dimitri Payet in the ninth minute and it was later reported that the then-Real Madrid star suffered a grade 1 anterior cruciate ligament sprain in his left knee.
