'It's not Cristiano Ronaldo anymore' - Portugal captain told 'running is not his friend' as Richard Keys brutally suggests CR7 'doesn't know the right time to call it a day'

Ronaldo couldn't find the target as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/portugal-player-ratings-vs-czech-republic-misfiring-cristiano-ronaldo-bailed-francisco-conceicao-euro-2024/blt8c4632bbdeb389e0" target="_blank">Portugal came from behind to beat Czechia</a> on Monday in their opening game of Euro 2024. The 39-year-old, who has become the first player to feature in six European Championship finals, came in for criticism from broadcaster Richard Keys during the game as he believes the superstar does not know when it's time to hang up his boots.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Keys told beIN Sport: "We all know that he has been one of the best of his generation. There is only one other to match, or maybe better than what he was capable of doing, It’s not Ronaldo anymore. It is a long, long way from being Ronaldo anymore. There are times when I’ve been watching him and thought - he could go on in this tournament to prove me entirely wrong - but running is not his friend."The other thing that bothers me is, as they come into the tournament, everything’s fine. The minute he comes off or doesn’t start, big trouble. They’re like boxers, again players. They never quite know when the time is right to call it a day and I think he’s in that category."

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

Ronaldo headed into the tournament after scoring 10 goals in qualifying for Portugal and enjoying a prolific, but trophyless, campaign in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr. The forward enjoyed a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-vows-come-back-even-stronger-50-goal-season-trophyless-campaign-ending-tears-al-nassr-superstar/blt5044ff90a9ec3d71" target="_blank">50-goal season</a> and has vowed to come back "even stronger." The former Manchester United man has also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-explains-why-retirement-some-way-off-891-goal-al-nassr-portugal-superstar-young-lions/blt3c851c27976c58fe#cs196c19a077da006e" target="_blank">batted away suggestions of retirement</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/will-cristiano-ronaldo-play-into-40s-cr7-future-plans-targets-discussion/blte0b944a6120c1f53" target="_blank">has previously claimed he can play into his forties</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ronaldo may not be thinking of hanging up his boots just yet but is surely featuring in his final European Championship for Portugal. Roberto Martinez's side will aim to make it two wins from two at Euro 2024 when they take on Turkey next in Group F. Turkey also head into the game with three points in the bag after a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arda-guler-real-madrid-starlet-classic-euro-2024-encounter-wonder-strike-turkey-earn-thrilling-win-over-georgia/blt6af1980d5dc8a626" target="_blank">lively win over Georgia</a>.
