'Let's fight' - Cristiano Ronaldo issues emotional Portugal rallying cry as he targets Euro 2024 glory with 'team of champions'

The Al-Nassr star, who will make his record-extending sixth European Championship appearance on Tuesday against the Czech Republic, took to Instagram and shared a video of his past Portugal matches in a bid to motivate his team-mates ahead of kick-off.

In the caption of his Instagram post, Ronaldo wrote: "Portugueses, Today starts another chapter of our history. I fondly remember my first day with the national team, a journey filled with challenges and triumphs. Now, I have the honour to once again stand alongside a team of champions, full of talent and determination. With the strength and support of everyone, we turn dreams into reality. Let's fight together for another triumph. United we are unstoppable."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner heads into the continental competition on the back of a 50-goal season in Saudi Arabia. The 39-year-old star smashed multiple records in the Middle East while also taking his tally of international caps and goals to a record-extending 207 and 130, respectively. In Portugal's final Euro 2024 warm-up game against Ireland, the superstar netted a brace.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star, who led Portugal to their first-ever international trophy win at Euro 2016, will aim to bag the title once again in what could possibly be his last appearance in the competition.
