One of the standout moments from the Euro 2024 action was the sensational goal scored by Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler. With a curling effort from 28 yards out, Guler became the youngest Turkish player to score at a major tournament. This moment showcased not only his talent but also brought a new level of excitement to the tournament.
Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo also made their mark on the tournament with some record-breaking achievements. Pepe broke the record as the oldest player to appear at the European Championships, surpassing Hungarian goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly. On the other hand, Ronaldo became the first player to feature in six European Championships, highlighting his longevity and impact on the game.
Despite his impressive career and numerous accolades, Cristiano Ronaldo has now gone five major tournament games without a goal for the second time in his career. This frustrating streak raises questions about his form and ability to deliver on the biggest stage. Fans will be hoping that Ronaldo can break this streak and showcase his scoring prowess in the upcoming matches.
The match between Turkiye and Georgia provided plenty of excitement, with a total of 36 shots taken – the most in a single game at Euro 2024 so far. Turkiye’s victory marked the sixth time lucky for them at the European Championships, as they secured their first win in six attempts. The game also saw Georgia scoring the first-ever goal of the tournament, adding to the historic moments of Euro 2024.
Despite his goal drought, Cristiano Ronaldo displayed impressive passing accuracy during the match against Czechia. Completing all 22 of his passes, Ronaldo showcased his ability to contribute to the team’s build-up play and create scoring opportunities. This performance highlighted his versatility and impact on the field beyond scoring goals.
With goals from both teams in the Turkiye vs. Georgia match, 19 out of the 24 nations at Euro 2024 have now scored a goal in their opening fixtures. This parity in goal-scoring emphasizes the competitiveness and excitement of the tournament. However, for some teams like Scotland, Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, and Austria, finding the back of the net remains a challenge that they will need to overcome in the upcoming matches.
Overall, Euro 2024 has provided fans with thrilling moments, record-breaking achievements, and exciting matches. As the tournament progresses, football enthusiasts can look forward to more standout performances, unexpected results, and unforgettable moments on the pitch.
