However, Ronaldo's 2024 has seen a mix of triumph and disappointment. On the international stage, Portugal's Euro 2024 campaign ended in disappointment as they were eliminated by France.
Despite holding the match to a goalless draw through regular time, Portugal fell 5-3 in the penalty shootout, with Ronaldo unable to contribute to the scoreline. This tournament was particularly disheartening for Ronaldo, as he failed to score in any of the five matches he played, marking the first time he did so in his Euro career.
On the domestic front, Ronaldo has been in formidable form with Al Nassr. He has scored 49 goals in 47 matches and provided 13 assists. Despite his strong performance, Al Nassr recently fell short in the Saudi Super Cup final against Al Hilal, losing 4-1, although Ronaldo did manage to get on the scoresheet.
Ronaldo's achievements both on and off the field continue to cement his status as one of the most influential athletes of his generation.
