It's official: Portugal has been eliminated from Euro 2024 in a penalty shootout against France, marking Cristiano Ronaldo's final appearance in the European Championships after participating in six editions of the tournament.

The pain of this elimination was intensified for Ronaldo by a particularly harsh statistic: for the first time in his international career, he failed to score in an official competition.

Throughout his career, Ronaldo had always found the back of the net in every Euro or World Cup he competed in with Portugal. He even became the all-time leading scorer in Euro history, with 14 goals to his name.

However, the 39-year-old forward was unable to score in the five matches he played under coach Roberto Martínez in Euro 2024. His closest opportunity came in the Round of 16 against Slovenia, where his penalty was spectacularly saved by goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
