On July 2, in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Portugal advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-0 aggregate victory over Slovenia after a penalty shootout. Despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo remained goalless in the tournament, having taken the most shots so far without finding the back of the net.
This is Ronaldo’s sixth European Championship, and he has started all four matches played until now. On the pitch, he has relentlessly sought opportunities to threaten the opposition’s goal, but has yet to score his first goal of the competition.
In the match against Slovenia, Ronaldo failed to find his scoring touch and missed a crucial penalty, forcing the game into a shootout. Fortunately for Portugal, goalkeeper Costa was in inspired form, saving three consecutive penalties to secure their progression to the next round.
So far in Euro 2024, Ronaldo has attempted 16 shots across four games without scoring. In the upcoming quarterfinal against France, will Ronaldo finally break his drought?
