With Ronaldo, he probably has the most emotions right now. It was a struggle that made tears unable to fall

Ronaldo’s 20-year career in the Euros includes the title in 2016 — when Portugal beat France in the final — and it remains to be seen if the five-time world player of the year will continue playing for his country through to the 2026 World Cup , when he will be aged 41.
