Ronaldo won the European League championship again, won the best scorer with 8 goals and won the European championship three times. What is the value?

For Ronaldo at his peak, the UEFA Champion does not have much value, and if he can choose, he doesn't even want to participate. And he has won the UEFA Champions once, which is not uncommon for him.

But this time it is different. Ronaldo, who is now 40 years old, has not won the official European championship for a long time. In an era when many people still question his ability, he won the European League championship, especially in the final, defeated the new European Cup champion Spain and scored 8 goals. He is the player with the most goals in Group A. These are precious to this 40-year-old veteran.

Objectively speaking, the European League's status is far less than that of the European Cup, and is far from that of the World Cup. Ronaldo wants to prove himself in the World Cup, and the opportunity is no longer great, so he can only hope that his teammates can help more.

Although the value of the UEFA Champion is not too high, looking back at the changes in world football and European football in the past 20 years and the changes in the Portuguese national team represented by Ronaldo, we still cannot deny Ronaldo's contribution, as well as his strength and influence.

In the 1990s, the Portuguese national team had a low presence in the world football world. Until the turn of the century, they appeared the "Portuguese Golden Generation". Figo, Rui Costa and others led Portugal to show the world a beautiful football in the 2000 European Cup. They made the classic battle of two-chasing and three major reversals of England still memorable, but unfortunately they lost to the final champion France.

However, the "Portuguese Golden Generation" did not allow Portugal to win too many major competition honors. Until Ronaldo represented Portugal for the first time in 2004, they reached the finals in the opening game. Ronaldo's performance was excellent and showed the potential of a future superstar. Although they lost to Greece again in the final, reaching the European Cup final has been the best record of the Portuguese national team in many years. Why did they achieve a historic breakthrough after Ronaldo appeared? Is this accident?

If this was accidental, then Ronaldo, on behalf of the Portuguese national team, helped the team reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, won the European Cup, and won the European League championship twice. These are all the most valuable honors in the history of the Portuguese national team, especially winning the European Cup, which is the first time in the team's history. Although this is a credit to the whole team, they have become stronger and difficult to ignore after having Cristiano Ronaldo. Does it indirectly prove Cristiano Ronaldo's historical status?

Of course, it is undeniable that Ronaldo's performance in the World Cup knockout stage was indeed unsatisfactory, and this is the only thing that he is still questionable. If you want to be recognized by the world, you must truly prove yourself on the stage of the World Cup, the highest palace in the world football world.

Can he do it next year?

For a veteran who is 41 years old next year, it is not realistic to perform well in the World Cup and prove himself.

The charm of sports, especially football, lies in uncertainty. The game is not over yet, and no one knows what will happen. As long as Ronaldo is still on the court, he still has the possibility of creating miracles and catching up with the other two Ronaldos.
