Cristiano Ronaldo yet He hasn’t scored a single goal at Euro 2024, but it’s not for lack of effort. According to UEFA statistics, the captain of the national team is the player who has taken the most shots at the tournament in Germany. He has attempted 20 (8 on target, 7 wide and 5 blocked). Across the competition, the closest players to CR7 are Havertz and Mbappe, with 15 shots each. The German has two goals in the same four games as Ronaldo, while the Frenchman has one in three games. The captain’s strikes help make Portugal the second team to have taken the most shots at this European Championship (74), behind only Spain (84) and ahead of Germany (71). If he finds the back of the net, CR7 will become the only player to score in six European Championships. But at 39, the Portugal international doesn’t let the pressure of this record put on him and maintains his daily routine. One habit he won’t give up is practicing free kicks. A few days ago, the FPF shared a video of the star still on the pitch after finishing work, shooting at goal. It’s this persistence in training that we count on in decisive moments of the game. Like the second time, he met Oblak from the 11-metre mark after failing in the first. Data collected by Whoop shows that when he converted the penalty in the tie-break, it was the moment in the last 16 against Slovenia when his heart rate was at its lowest.
