Ronaldo Sets Unusual Record for Euro 2024

Portuguese national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo has set a record for the number of "offside" incidents during the 2024 European Championship. According to the press service of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the 39-year-old Portuguese player has been caught "offside" 5 times in 3 group stage matches.

In second place on the ranking is Hungarian forward Barnabás Varga, who has 4 "offside" instances.

On January 2, 2023, Ronaldo became a player for the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, with a contract that reportedly pays him €200 million per year, along with additional bonuses for himself and his family. The Portuguese forward transferred to Saudi Arabia in 2023 after terminating his contract with Manchester United due to strained relations with head coach Erik ten Hag.

Prior to that, Ronaldo spent 9 years playing for Real Madrid and 3 years with Juventus. Throughout his career, the Portuguese has won 5 Ballon d'Or titles and has triumphed in the Champions League 5 times.
