At the Puskas Arena in Budapest, the Portuguese European champions from Group F will still face the Hungarian hosts.
For the 36-year-old veteran captain of the Portuguese national team, C. Ronaldo, this match and the championship are extremely important in terms of records: on Tuesday he will be the only player who has managed to participate in five continental championships in a row. and if he scores in these championships, he will become the first European champion, a footballer who has managed to excel in five championships on the Old Continent.
Also, if Portugal scores a goal, they will become the most productive player in the championship – it would be their 10th goal in the championship.
So far, he shares the first place among the most productive players with Frenchman Michel Platini.
By the way, C. Ronaldo is the only player from the 2016 Portuguese team to become European champion.
Before his fifth championship and his 22nd match, Ronaldo caused a major scandal involving one of UEFA’s sponsors, Coca Cola.
Arriving at a press conference on the eve of the match, Ronaldo sat down and saw two bottles of Coke in front of him.
These are sponsored drinks and they were like an official billboard. However, the Portuguese unscrupulously threw those bottles aside and lifted a simple bottle of water in their hand.
“Water … How is Coca Cola”, said the Portuguese star before the microphones were turned on. This can be the responsibility of both the sponsor and UEFA; it is said that the footballer will have to pay a fine for ignoring the publicity.
Ronaldo never advertised and refused to cooperate with Coca Cola or Pepsi.
Once, Pepsi took a photo of the player and the company had to apologize for a long time for the player’s misunderstanding.
The player himself admitted that he is especially nervous when his son drinks Coca Cola and eats potato chips.
“It is harmful to the body,” Ronaldo said.
Coca Cola is an official sponsor of Euro 2020 and UEFA.
