Ronaldo holds the record for most goals at the Euros, including qualifying (45) and most goals in final tournaments (14). He shared the Euro 2020 lead with five goals, scoring all during group play. Ronaldo did not score in Portugal’s two meetings with the Czech Republic in the 2022 UEFA Nations League, but scored the club’s winning goal in their 3-1 group stage win and 1-0 quarter-final win about the Czechs at Euro 2020.
