By Sean Walsh Here we are again. Another Portugal post-mortem centred around the attention of one man in particular. It's a rather appropriate ritual given how their performances were at the behest of one man, in fairness. You live by Cristiano Ronaldo, you die by Cristiano Ronaldo. Once again, the Selecao were stuck with inglorious death. France eliminated Portugal at the quarter-final stage of Euro 2024, prevailing on penalties after what can only be described as 'a match of competitive football that took place'. Trust me, it was numbingly but painfully exhausting. For the second knockout ma...

By Tom Gott Kylian Mbappe has insisted he does not want to be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo as he prepares to kick-start his Real Madrid career. Mbappe finally sealed his move to Madrid this summer, departing Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer to get the switch over the line, with many expecting the Frenchman to achieve the sort of success enjoyed by Ronaldo during his time with Los Blancos between 2009 and 2018. Despite the high expectations surrounding his arrival, Mbappe insists he is not trying to replicate Ronaldo and is instead looking to write his own story in Madrid. "I like to adm...

By Joshua Browne Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson believes Euro 2024 may be Cristiano Ronaldo's final international tournament as the 39-year-old will soon succumb to the physical demands of playing at an advanced age. Though Portugal have made it to the quarter-finals of this summer's tournament, Ronaldo's time in Germany has been anything but smooth. The 39-year-old was left in tears after seeing a recent penalty saved and has been accused of dragging his side down - similar to the narrative towards the end of his second spell with United. Manager of Ronaldo for six seasons atUnite...

By Sean Walsh On talent alone, Portugal might have the strongest squad at Euro 2024. They have all the right profiles and all the right players. They're flexible and they're ready. And yet they continue to serve up dross. The Selecao are into the quarter-finals but only for the saving grace of Diogo Costa, who kept out three Slovenia penalties in the deciding shootout of their last 16 tie and denied Benjamin Sesko in the last embers of extra-time. At the centre of Portugal's attention for over 120 minutes was Cristiano Ronaldo. Because of course he was. Two hours of football saw the Selecao tr...

By Katie Catherall Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that Euro 2024 will be his last European Championship in a Portugal shirt. Roberto Martinez's side narrowly qualified for the quarter-finals on Monday after defeating Slovenia on penalties. Their victory means they will next face France, who beat Belgium 1-0 to also advance from the round of 16, on Friday in Hamburg. Portugal captain Ronaldo was left disappointed with his performance however, missing four free-kicks and denying his side victory inside the allotted 120 minutes after missing a penalty in extra-time. He did convert from the spot ...

By Sean Walsh Cristiano Ronaldo admitted he let Portugal down during their Euro 2024 last 16 tie with Slovenia. The Selecao only just advanced to the quarter-finals after they were held to a 0-0 draw over 120 minutes of football, ultimately prevailing 3-0 following a penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa was the hero for Portugal, saving all three of Slovenia's spot kicks. Ronaldo, however, had the chance to kill the tie in extra-time when Portugal were awarded a penalty, but his effort was tipped onto the post by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, which reduced the forward to tears. The...

By Tom Gott Portugal boss Roberto Martinez defended a frustrated Cristiano Ronaldo after he furiously kicked a water bottle after being substituted during the shock 2-0 defeat to Georgia. The Al Nassr striker managed just over an hour before being hooked by Martinez, who was searching for an answer to goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze when he replaced Ronaldo with Goncalo Ramos. A response was not forthcoming, however, with Ronaldo watching on from the sidelines as Portugal fell to what was statistically the biggest upset in the history of the European Championships again...

By Jamie Spencer Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has called on fans to resist the 'dangerous' temptation to run onto the pitch in search of a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo at Euro 2024. As many as six supporters were guilty of pitch invasions during and immediately after Portugal's win over Turkey. Ronaldo humoured the first when a young boy ran towards him, phone in hand, 70 minutes into the 3-0 win. But he was less tolerant of the five others – a teenager and four adults. As Portugal prepare to face Georgia in their final group game, Martinez has warned anyone hoping to get themselves a...

By Joshua Browne Roberto Martinez has staunchly backed Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting that the 39-year-old forward is in peak condition to handle a heavy workload for Portugal throughout Euro 2024. Despite his impressive record in qualifying, Ronaldo couldn't quite kick off this summer's European Championship on a high note, as he failed to score in Tuesday's narrow 2-1 victory over Czechia. Lukas Provod broke the deadlock shortly after the hour mark before an own goal from Robin Hranac restored parity and Francisco Conceicao sealed the win in dramatic fashion for the Portuguese. After the final...

By Katie Catherall Roberto Martinez says that Cristiano Ronaldo is in Portugal's Euro 2024 squad 'on merit' after being dropped at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward, who now plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, is preparing to play in his sixth European Championship, with Portugal getting their campaign underway against Czechia on Tuesday night. Ronaldo was benched towards the end of Portugal's run at the 2022 World Cup, under previous head coach Fernando Santos, coming on as a substitute in both the round of 16 and quarter-finals. But M...
