On June 19, in the opening match of Group F at the European Championship, Portugal narrowly won 2-1 against the Czech Republic. In this game, Ronaldo maintained an awkward record: since his first European Championship appearance in 2004, he has taken 29 free kicks in the tournament but has yet to score a single goal from them.
In the 58th minute, Portugal was awarded a free kick, and Ronaldo stepped up to take it, attempting a direct shot. The ball sailed over the wall but was too central, allowing the goalkeeper to collect it comfortably without conceding a goal.
Ronaldo is known for his impressive free-kick skills, such as the brilliant “screwball” free kick he scored against Spain in the 2018 World Cup, which helped Portugal secure a 3-3 draw. However, in the European Championship, he has not managed to convert any free kicks. Throughout his career in the Euros, Ronaldo has taken 29 free kicks without finding the back of the net. As this will be Ronaldo’s last European Championship, can he break the spell and score from a free kick in the remaining matches?
