"Want Ronaldo - that's Ronaldo for you," - these words were said by one of the ESPN commentators after the second goal of the Portuguese national team captain in the match against Hungary. The 31-year-old Portuguese was very quiet in two consecutive group stage matches, but in the last game against Hungary, C. Ronaldo scored a brace, made an assist, and helped Portugal advance to the quarterfinals. This evening became a record-breaking one for Portugal in the European Championship. C. Ronaldo became the first player to score at least one goal in four final European Championships. He managed to shine in the 2004, 2008, 2012, and now 2016 tournaments. Additionally, C. Ronaldo became the player with the most matches played in the European Championship. The match against Hungary was his 17th. So far, the record of 16 matches belonged to Frenchman Lilian Thuram, Dutchman Edwin van der Sar, and, of course, to the same Portuguese. In the quarterfinals against Croatia, C. Ronaldo will have the opportunity to equal or even surpass Michel Platini's record, who with nine goals is the all-time top scorer in the European Championship. C. Ronaldo currently has eight goals, so he is still two goals away from breaking the record."
