2016 Euro Cup Champion Portugal Was Led To Victory By Cristiano Ronaldo

The eighth major accomplishment of Cristiano Ronaldo is that he led Portugal to victory as Euro Cup champions in 2016. Portugal was eliminated from the 2014 World Cup at the group stage. However, Ronaldo became the first Portuguese player to play and score in three World Cups with his goal against Ghana. Ronaldo scored twice against Hungary in the last group stage encounter of the 2016 Euro Cup to become the first player to score in four Euro Cups. Ronaldo contributed to the second goal and scored the first in Portugal's 2–0 win against Wales in the semifinal.

Despite Ronaldo's injury in the championship match, Portugal defeated France 1–0 to win their first ever major tournament. With three goals and three assists, Ronaldo earned the Silver Boot as the joint second-highest scorer. Ronaldo scored 32 goals during the World Cup qualifying for the 2008 tournament, making him the tournament's all-time leading scorer. In a 3–3 tie with Spain during the 2018 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo set a record for the oldest player to ever score a hat trick. Then, in Portugal's 1–0 victory over Morocco, he scored the lone goal. With his 85 international goals, he surpassed all other European goal scorers. After losing to Uruguay 2–1 in the round of 16, Portugal was eliminated from the World Cup. But because of his outstanding performance, Ronaldo was included in the FIFA World Cup 2018 Dream Team.
