#2 Highest Goal Contribution for a single European Championships
In 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal went into the European Championships without being considered as potential winners with many believing that Portugal were sporting one of their weakest teams in recent memory.
Nevertheless, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch, victory is never impossible, as he showed when he led the Portuguese national team to their first ever international trophy, defeating France in a dramatic final, that saw Ronaldo being subbed off due to a reckless foul by Dimitri Payet.
In an impassioned post-match speech, Ronaldo was seen as saying that this was the highlight of his professional career, as it was the one thing he hadn't won.
As well as lighting up the entire Portuguese nation with their victory in France, Ronaldo set an unprecedented record in the process.
Of all of the 9 goals that Portugal scored throughout the competition, 6 of them came directly from Ronaldo, in the form of 3 goals and 3 assists.
This equates to 66.66% of Portugal's total goals, which is the highest contribution from a player in the history of the European finals, showing how important Ronaldo was during this competition.
