Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, officially became the top scorer of the 2020 European Cup. He became the top scorer with a collection of five goals throughout this tournament. Ronaldo's goal collection is actually the same as the Czech Republic striker, Patrik Schick. However, Ronaldo is entitled to the golden boot for his one assist when Portugal lost 2-4 to Germany.
For your information, since the 2008 European Cup, assists
determine the European Cup's top scorer title if there are two players with the
same number of goals. As a result, Ronaldo also got the golden boot that saved
his face after Portugal's failure at the 2020 European Cup.
As is known, Ronaldo and Portugal are one of the seeds in
the 2020 European Cup. How not, Selecao das Quinas -the nickname of Portugal -
is the defending champion.
However, Portugal did not go too far in the 2020 European
Cup. In the last 16, Portugal had to fall after a narrow 0-1 defeat to another
strong team, Belgium.
Ronaldo failed to bring Portugal to defend the title.
However, the 36-year-old was able to become the top scorer and set a record in
his name during his appearance at the 2020 European Cup.
Ronaldo set several records at Euro 2020, but one stands out
the most. The Juventus player equaled Iran legend Ali Daei's number of goals to
become the top international scorer.
Ronaldo and Daei have both scored 109 goals for their
respective countries. For this achievement, Daei also congratulated Ronaldo
through his Instagram.
"Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now one
goal away from breaking the international (country) goal record in the men's
category," wrote Daei.
“I am honored that this incredible achievement will belong
to Cristiano Ronaldo, a great footballer, humanist who cares, inspires and
influences lives around the world. 'Vamos,' continued Ali Daei.
