How many Euros has Cristiano Ronaldo played at? Portugal icon set to extend appearance record in Germany

Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to embark on a historic European Championship in Germany this summer.

The Portugal icon will lead his country to another major tournament, aiming for a second title after capturing the trophy in 2016.

At 39 years old, this is probably his last participation in the competition, but we can say that he has experienced enough to be happy about it.

talkSPORT.com took a look at how many times Ronaldo has played at the Euros…

How many euros did Ronaldo play for?

Ronaldo has participated in a record five European Championships and won one.

He goes down in the history books for being the player who participated in the most tournaments.

In 2020, he surpassed other international legends such as Lothar Matthaus, Peter Schmeichel and Alessandro Del Piero.

So when Ronaldo takes the field for his country’s opening match in Germany, he will take his own record to six.

Unsurprisingly, the Al Nassr superstar also holds the record for most Euro matches.

He has played 25 times in his five appearances, missing only one tournament match and that was back in 2008.

His closest rivals for this crown are his Portuguese teammates Joao Moutinho and Pepe, both of whom have 19 games each in the final.

As well as making history with his appearances, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker also holds the record for most goals at the Euros.

He scored five goals in the last edition and became the undisputed leader in the all-time rankings, ahead of Michel Platini.

And he should go even further, with other goals surely on the way this summer.
