It's a disgrace.

Cristiano Ronaldo was named the worst player of the tournament. On the 14th (Korea time), Spain's Marca announced 'Best 11' at Euro 2024 that did not meet expectations. Ronaldo is included. Ronaldo joined Belgium's Romelu Lukaku and Serbia's Dusan Vlahovic on the offensive.

Ronaldo went for the last dance. He said "This is undoubtedly the last euro". Ronaldo, who showed off his consistent scoring ability in Saudi Arabia, has consistently scored in the national team. He was in charge of Portugal's front line with Roberto Martinez's trust.

However, it did not meet expectations. Ronaldo played in five matches until the quarterfinals and failed to score a single goal, experiencing a humiliation of zero goals. The only income was the help he recorded in the second group match against Turkey last time out. Ronaldo, who gave assist, recorded his eighth career assist in the Euro tournament. 2 assists in Euro 2004, 1 assist in Euro 2008 and 3 assists in Euro 2016. Ronaldo, who had one assist at Euro 2020 and one assist at Euro 2024, tied for the most assists at the Euro tournament ever with Karel Povorski (Czech Republic, eight). Ronaldo, who already has the record for the most goals scored in the tournament with 14 goals, once again announced that he is a legend in the Euro tournament by ranking first in the help category.

Ronaldo set a new record of participating in six consecutive Euro tournaments in the last game. Ronaldo attempted to win the championship with a goal hunt, but failed in a disastrous manner. In the round of 16 against Slovenia, he even shed tears after missing a penalty kick. Ronaldo also remained silent in the quarterfinals against France, and Portugal eventually packed up.

BBC says Ronaldo's statistics at Euro 2024 are abysmal. This is the first time Ronaldo has failed to score on the stage of a major tournament. Ronaldo's constant running seems ridiculous at times. Ronaldo's poor performance also gave harsh criticism to his seniors. William Gallas, a former French legend defender, named Ronaldo the worst player in Euro 2024. "I think Ronaldo could go to the 2026 World Cup, but it is questionable whether he will be a starter. He probably wants to finish his career as the only six-time World Cup and six-time Euro player in history. "Ronaldo will find it difficult to maintain his position as Portugal's starting striker. I love him as a professional, but he's the biggest failure in Euro 2024."

Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson expressed his honest feelings about his sister Ronaldo. Ferguson recruited Ronaldo as a teenager and raised him dearly. At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the so-called wink incident earned the ire of all Englanders, but he cared for and protected him and placed him in the world's best ranks. With Ferguson's trust, Ronaldo has transformed himself from a glamorous but unaffordable winger to the best goal scorer in the world. Ferguson's world class standards are famous for being high and demanding, one of which is Ronaldo. The two are constantly respecting each other and maintaining a good relationship even after Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid.

Ferguson also expressed his opinion that Ronaldo should finish his representative career at this point. In a recent interview, Ferguson said "I can't imagine him playing until 2026"Football will become faster and more dynamic in the future. There is no choice but to further reduce the space for the central striker. On top of that, it is difficult for a striker to play at the highest level compared to a defender when he gets older. Ferguson said, `Now it doesn't mean much if Ronaldo adds one or two trophies. He already has a special career.'

Meanwhile, Dominique Soboslawi (Hungary), Sergei Milinkovic-Savic (Serbia) and John McGinn (Scotland) were selected as the best 11 players in Euro 2024 by Marca. Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukraine), Andreas Christensen (Denmark), Gianluca Mancini and Giovanni di Lorenzo (Italy) were selected for the defense. The worst goalkeeper was Dominique Rybakovic of Croatia.

Ronaldo wants to continue wearing the national team uniform despite this humiliation. He still has lingering doubts about his participation in the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup. Ronaldo lifted a myriad of trophies but didn't have a World Cup. On top of that, Ronaldo reportedly aims to play with his son. However, the failure of this euro has disrupted the plan. The public gaze is not very good.
