Cristiano Ronaldo sends out 'proud' message after making Portugal squad for his record-extending sixth European Championship

The 39-year-old took to social media to express his pride as he is all set to represent Portugal for a record-extending sixth time in Germany after being named in Roberto Martinez's 26-man squad for Euro 2024.

On Instagram, Ronaldo shared a photograph of himself in the new Portugal kit and wrote a caption that read, "Proud to be back representing Portugal at Euro. Let's go with it!"

The Al-Nassr star is the most decorated player in the history of the European Championship as he holds multiple records in the competition. Along with appearing in most editions of the tournament, he has also played the most number of matches (25) and scored the most number of goals (14). He will also become the oldest player to appear at the Euros at the age of 39 years and 133 days when he will take the field against the Czech Republic in their tournament opener.

The veteran forward will be next seen in action for his club on Thursday as Al-Nassr take on Al-Riyadh in their penultimate game of the season.
