Ronaldo winning EURO 2024 a ‘dream’
At 39, Ronaldo remains grateful to be able to play at the highest level.
He will be playing for his record-extending sixth European Championship.
“I know I don’t have many years of football left,” Ronaldo said.
“It’s a gift to play year after year, after 35. I’m 39 and every year is about enjoying [myself]. To score for the national team is special. The national team is the love of my life, winning the Euros would be a dream.”
The Al-Nassr superstar forward has played for Portugal since 2003, and helped the team win the European Championship in 2016.
“For me, playing for the national team is a passion, a love,” he said. “Any game is special, a European Championship is special, it will be my sixth, which is also a record.
“Playing in 2004, when I made my [European Championship] debut, or playing today, the feeling is always of pride and passion. It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Portugal is all in
The former Real Madrid star said the Selecao has the talent to replicate their 2016 success in the Euros.
“The thought has to be that, be positive, take it step by step. Dreaming is free and this team has the talent to dream. Nothing can be achieved without work, we have to work and fight,” Ronaldo said.
“We need to take advantage of this generation of talent to do something beautiful at the European Championship. But I repeat again: talent is not enough. We have to work. We want to start the European Championship in the best possible way.”
Portugal start their Group F campaign against Czechia on June 18.
