Oldest Euro Final Scorer: The record currently belongs to Leonardo Bonucci (34 years and 71 days), but Ronaldo could rewrite it.
Oldest Player in a Euro Final: Jens Lehmann holds the record (38 years and 232 days). While teammate Pepe is currently older (appearing at 41 in Euro 2024), Ronaldo could surpass this mark if Portugal reaches the final.

Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy at the Euros is unmatched. Euro 2024 presents yet another opportunity for him to etch his name even deeper into the history books.
