Recently, coach Martinez announced the list of 26 players for the Portuguese national team participating in EURO 2024. Ronaldo is named and this striker is about to set an unprecedented record.

Coach Martinez has just announced the list of the Portuguese national team qualified for the EURO 2024 finals. The most notable part of this list is the presence of two veterans Pepe and Ronaldo.

Pepe is 41 years old this year, but the Belgian strategist still added his name to Portugal’s EURO 2024 participation list. Meanwhile, superstar Ronaldo is also over 39 years old.

In the 2023/2024 season, Pepe will still play 34 matches for Porto in all competitions, including 7 matches in the European Cup. The former Real Madrid midfielder even scored 2 goals on the most famous playground on the old continent.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo is in excellent form in Saudi Arabia. The striker born in 1985 scored 42 goals and 13 assists after 42 appearances on all fronts for Al-Nassr. Currently, Ronaldo is Portugal’s greatest striker with 128 goals in 206 matches.

If during preparations for EURO 2024, Ronaldo does not get injured and participates in Europe’s biggest football festival in Germany, CR7 will go down in tournament history. Accordingly, Ronaldo will attend the 6th EURO in his career and set a record for being the player who attended the most EUROs. The previous record belonged to Ronaldo and Iker Casillas with the same 5 times.

Portugal’s EURO 2024 squad summoned by coach Martinez does not have many surprises as players with high performance at the club level or who have proven their ability under the Belgian coach are all summoned.

At EURO 2024, Portugal is in Group F with Türkiye, Czechia, and Georgia. This is a suitable group for Ronaldo and his teammates. In the opening match, Portugal will meet the Czech Republic (June 19), Türkiye (June 22) and Georgia (June 27).
