[2024 European Cup Portugal] Boldly asks: Is Cristiano Ronaldo a boost or a burden for Portugal?

First delving into Ronaldo's performance on the pitch: "Ronaldo had the fewest touches (32) but the most shots (5). At 39 years old, he becomes the first player in history to feature in six European Championships. His presence in the starting lineup is always met with fervent applause from fans, and each goal is celebrated with his trademark 'siu' gesture. Ronaldo actively encourages the younger players and remains the team's captain and spiritual leader."

Then, contemplating whether Ronaldo should continue as a starter for Portugal: "With Portugal narrowly securing victory, thoughts turn to how they can improve in upcoming matches. At 41 years and 113 days, Pepe became the oldest player to feature in the history of the European Championship, while Ronaldo, at 39, continues his own battle against time. Ronaldo hopes to defy his age, but he faced defeat in this battle during the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup."
