As Portugal gears up for their UEFA Euro 2024 opener against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, coach Roberto Martinez delivered a 🔥 verdict on Cristiano Ronaldo: ‘He’s here on merit.’ The 39-year-old legend, often dubbed ‘GOAT’ by fans, silenced doubters with a jaw-dropping 50 goals in 51 games this season for Al Nassr. 🎯
‘Cristiano didn’t get here because of his name,’ Martinez told reporters Monday. ‘He scored NINE goals during qualifiers and has been relentless. Age? Just a number.’ 💪
Ronaldo’s journey hasn’t been all confetti 🎉. After being benched during Portugal’s 2022 World Cup campaign, he swapped Manchester United for Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr—and turned the move into a goal-scoring masterclass. Now, all eyes are on CR7 to lead his squad in Germany. Will this be his final Euro chapter? 🌟
