Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo Rewrites EURO History with Crucial Assist for Bruno Fernandes’ Goal against Türkiye.

In the 56th minute, when the score was 2-0 in favor of Portugal, Ronaldo broke the offside trap after a long pass from his teammate. In an empty position and facing only goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, CR7 surprised by choosing to pass a pass to Fernandes instead of finishing himself as usual.

Receiving a “gift” from Ronaldo, Fernandes easily slotted the ball into an empty goal to raise the score to 3-0 for Portugal. Ronaldo’s handling of the situation was not only praised by the online community, but he himself also made EURO history.

Ronaldo assisted Fernández

According to Opta, with the assist to Fernandes, Ronaldo now has 7 assists in Euro Cup finals, the most recorded since 1968. Thus, the 39-year-old striker once again set a new record in the Euro Cup. Previously, Ronaldo was the top scorer in EURO history with 14 goals and a host of other illustrious achievements in this tournament.

Against Türkiye, Ronaldo remained active despite being 39 years old. He played quite open, actively dropping back to coordinate with his teammates many times. In the first half, CR7 even had a characteristic step to eliminate the Turkish defender and pass from the right wing.

Overall, although he has not scored a goal for Portugal at Euro 2024, Ronaldo still has significant contributions for the Seleccao and has not become a liability as many fans fear. That is why coach Roberto Martínez still has great confidence in CR7, considering him the leader of Portugal.
