The Portuguese national team has advanced to the tournament ahead of schedule.

Forward of the Portuguese national team, Cristiano Ronaldo assessed the team's journey in the EURO 2024 qualifiers.

«We are playing well, winning every match. I don't remember many easy qualification stages in my time with the team or even in the national team's history. Although I won't say 'easy' – it's because we made it so. Many people say it's because of the group. But we've had similar situations before, always having 2 or 3 strong teams, and it all came down to calculations.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with that opinion. Portugal advanced because we played well. We have a fantastic team and coach, and we earned our spot. Achieving our goal is not a coincidence.

I plan to play in the EURO 2024, although it's still far away. I hope I have no problems, like injuries or other difficulties. I hope to play,» the footballer told Record.

The Portuguese national team has secured their place in the European Championship by finishing in first place in Group J.
