THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ronaldo first achieved this milestone at Euro 2004, where he scored twice and provided two assists for Portugal at the age of 19. Rooney matched this performance in the same tournament, scoring four goals and assisting once as England reached the quarter-finals, ultimately falling to Portugal.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Having joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahce last summer, Guler has quickly made a name for himself. The teenage sensation has scored six goals in 12 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti's side, showcasing his immense potential. And now he is shining on the international stage with Turkey. Vincenzo Montella's team are set to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, and Guler's contributions will be crucial to their chances of advancing further in the tournament.</p>
