Following Portugal’s dominant win over Turkey in the ongoing UEFA EURO 2024 in Dortmund, Portugal captain and legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo expressed pride in his team. Although the five-time Ballon d’Or winner didn’t score, he played a crucial role in the final goal of the match, registering four shots and creating three chances. Ronaldo also maintained a 76 percent pass accuracy against Turkey in the group stage match.
Ronaldo took to his official social media handle to celebrate securing the top spot in the Group F points table. “In a hurry and first place guaranteed. Proud of this team, we are Portugal,” he wrote.
Portugal secured their second consecutive tournament victory with a 3-0 win over Turkey at the BVB Stadion Dortmund, thanks to goals from Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, and an own goal. From the start, Portugal dominated, with Silva opening the scoring in the 21st minute. An own goal by Samet Akaydin in the 28th minute extended Portugal’s lead to 2-0. In the second half, Ronaldo made a crucial pass to Fernandes, who scored the third goal.
Portugal’s commanding performance earned them a 3-0 victory and crucial three points. Next, they will face Georgia in Gelsenkirchen on Thursday. With wins against Czechia and Turkey, Portugal aims to conclude the group stage unbeaten.
