'I believe this generation deserves to win a competition of this magnitude,' Ronaldo told reporters upon arrival in Germany
The veteran forward, 39, says his team “deserve” to win another major international trophy to add to their singular triumph, at Euro 2016. “I believe this generation deserves to win a competition of this magnitude,” Ronaldo told reporters upon arrival in Germany, setting his sights on the Henri Delaunay trophy.The former Real Madrid hitman triumphed with Portugal in 2016 but limped off injured against France in the final, with Eder firing the team to glory in extra-time.
Ronaldo first appeared at the tournament in 2004 on home soil, scoring against eventual winners Greece on his Euros debut, and he has also struck in every edition since. “I enjoy football, records are a consequence, so for me it’s not a target, because I think they come naturally,” said Ronaldo. Despite his long and storied international career, Ronaldo said he still suffers with nerves after a men’s record 207 caps for his country.
