On June 27th, in the final match of Group F of the European Championship, Portugal lost to Georgia 0-2. Ronaldo started the match but failed to score. This is the first time in Ronaldo’s career that he has not scored in the group stage of a European Championship or World Cup.
Prior to this, Ronaldo had participated in the 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 (actually held in 2021) European Championships, as well as the 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 World Cups. Ronaldo had always managed to score in the group stage of every tournament he participated in.
However, Ronaldo has been out of form in this year’s European Championship, performing mediocrely in the group stage with only one assist. Portugal successfully qualified for the knockout stage as the group leader. However, they have been drawn into the “Group of Death” and their chances of winning the championship are not optimistic. Ronaldo needs to adjust his performance and aim to break his goal drought in the upcoming knockout stages. He also needs to prepare himself to help the team win their second-ever European Championship.
