The most entertaining action is expected in Group B, where defending champions Italy are set to face two-time EURO winners Spain, World Cup semi-finalists Croatia, and Albania.

In Group D, World Cup finalists France, who are searching for their first European Championship trophy since 2000, will play Netherlands, Austria, and the winner of the Path A playoff tournament. Poland, Wales, Finland, and Estonia are looking to punch their EURO 2024 ticket through Path A.

Germany has been given an easy path to the knockout stage, playing in Group A alongside Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland.

England, who reached the finals at the 2020 tournament, also shouldn’t have many problems in their Group C, where they will face Slovenia, Denmark, and Serbia.

Playoff tournaments to determine the final three national teams at EURO 2024 will be played in March. Path B tournament features Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Israel, and Ukraine. Path C tournament features Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan, and Luxembourg.

EURO 2024 will kick off on June 14 and conclude on July 14 with a Finals match at Berlin’s Olympiastadion. The winner of each group will advance to the knockout stage alongside second-placed teams. The remaining spots in the Round of 16 will be filled with four third-place teams with the most points.

The first record came immediately after Ronaldo took the field, as this was his fifth time to play at the EUROs. The previous record was four tournaments, shared between 17 players.

Ronaldo then scored from a penalty kick in the 87th minute to give Portugal a 2-0 lead, which increased his goal tally at the EUROs to 10. This meant he surpassed France legend Michel Platini and became the player with the most goals in European Championship history.

Ronaldo added another goal several minutes later, further solidifying his place at the top.

The performance against Hungary saw Ronaldo make several other entries in the history books. He extended some of the records he already owned including most games played in any European Championships (22). The Juventus star also inched closer to becoming the best international goalscorer in the history of soccer.

Ronaldo now has 106 goals in 176 games for Portugal and finds himself just three goals behind record-holder Ali Daei of Iran.

“Players who have longevity in football are those who can adapt,” said Ronaldo about his ability to remain efficient in front of the goal for so long. “The numbers speak for themselves: I have adapted from 18 to 36. I always work to achieve things on a personal and collective level.”

Ronaldo will have a chance to continue his tear at EUROs on Saturday, when Portugal faces Germany in their second game of the EURO 2020 Group Stage.
