The global football statistics network "WhoScored" stated that Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Portuguese national team, is the worst striker among all the strikers in the 2024 European Nations Championship, according to one indicator.
Portugal's journey in Euro 2024 ended with a loss to France on penalties in the quarter-finals.
"Don" appeared at his lowest level since the beginning of Euro 2024, as he failed to score for the first time in his career in a major tournament.
Ronaldo played in all five of his country's matches, but he was unable to score a single goal, despite taking 23 shots on goal. He missed a crucial penalty kick against Slovenia in extra time, and made only one assist against Turkey in the group stage, reflecting Ronaldo's poor finishing in front of goal, as he lacked the quality that had distinguished him for many years.
The last five places included German Kai Havertz, Belgian Romelu Lukaku, French Kylian Mbappe, and Dutch Memphis Depay.
It is noteworthy that the title of the European Nations Cup "Euro 2024" returned to the Spanish national team after defeating its counterpart, England, in the final match of the continental tournament, with a score of 2-1 in Berlin.
