Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to set a Euro record after he was named in Portugal's 26-man 2024 squad, unveiled on Tuesday by coach Roberto Martinez. The 39-year-old, five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be appearing in his 11th major international tournament. He played his first at Euro 2004 and will be making a record sixth appearance at the men's continental championship. He collected a winner's medal in France in 2016, even though he went off injured after 25 minutes in the final. Ronaldo, who plays his club football for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, already holds the men's world record for caps (206) and international goals (128). He again proved indispensable as Portugal won all 10 of their qualifying games, scoring 36 goals and conceding two.
