How Many Euro Goals Has Ronaldo Scored in 2024?

Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal-scoring prowess in the UEFA European Championship is legendary. He holds numerous records, including the most goals scored in the tournament’s history. While he didn’t score any goals in the Euro 2024 finals, his overall tally remains impressive. This article explores Ronaldo’s Euro 2024 performance and his remarkable goal-scoring record in the competition.

Ronaldo participated in Euro 2024, marking his sixth appearance in the tournament, extending his own record for most EURO final tournaments played. He played in five matches during the tournament before Portugal was eliminated in the quarter-finals. Despite not finding the back of the net himself in the 2024 tournament, his presence on the field was undeniable. His leadership and experience were invaluable to the Portuguese team.

Ronaldo’s legacy in the European Championship extends far beyond Euro 2024. Prior to the 2024 tournament, he had already cemented his place as the all-time leading scorer in the competition. With 14 goals across five previous tournaments, he sits comfortably ahead of Michel Platini with 9 goals.

Although Euro 2024 wasn’t a goal-fest for Ronaldo, it’s crucial to understand his overall contribution to the tournament’s history. His prior achievements in the competition remain untouched and highlight his exceptional talent and longevity at the highest level of international football. He continues to hold the record for most goals scored in the EURO finals, most final tournament appearances, and most appearances overall (including qualifying).

His consistent performance across multiple tournaments solidifies his position as one of the greatest European Championship players of all time.

Ronaldo’s record of scoring in five separate EURO final tournaments also stands out. He scored in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020, a testament to his consistency and ability to perform on the big stage over an extended period. While he didn’t add to that record in 2024, the achievement remains a significant part of his EURO legacy.

He has also made the most appearances in EURO finals, with a total of 30 matches played. This underlines his durability and importance to the Portuguese national team over many years. He has consistently been a key figure in their EURO campaigns.
