Fabio Capello unsure if Cristiano Ronaldo will shine at Euro 2024 as former Real Madrid boss names England favourites to win trophy because of Jude Bellingham

A bid for continental glory on German soil is due to get underway on June 14, with Italy aiming to defend the crown that they captured at Wembley Stadium back in 2021. There will be plenty of superstar performers on show, with evergreen Portuguese forward <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-when-cristiano-ronaldo-will-finish-what-happen-before-al-nassr-superstar-considers-retirement/blt8011b8d00e7c2578" target="_blank">Ronaldo still going strong at 39 years of age</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ronaldo has been impressing in the Saudi Pro League this season, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-goal-message-rivals-portugal-al-nassr-superstar-1000/bltf77588a501ef4789" target="_blank">passing the 40-goal mark once again</a>, but former Real Madrid and Juventus boss Capello has said of question marks over the five-time Ballon d’Or winner: “There are two players who make the difference, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. And we will have to see how the year in Arabia has been for Cristiano.”

WHAT CAPELLO SAID

Capello, who led England to the 2010 World Cup, considers the Three Lions to be favourites for Euros glory, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-win-it-all-ambitious-treble-target-real-madrid-england-golden-boy/blt05cb0ccacf6984e2" target="_blank">Real Madrid sensation Bellingham leading the way</a>. He added on seeing the 20-year-old midfielder make a stunning impact in his debut season at Santiago Bernabeu: “It is a surprise that an Englishman has triumphed so soon in La Liga.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Bellingham has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-above-real-madrid-legends-zinedine-zidane-luis-figo-blancos-champions-league-all-time-greats/blt075f273883d02cc0" target="_blank">registered 21 goals for the Blancos this season</a>, including a dramatic winner in a Clasico clash with Barcelona last time out, and is expected to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/next-galactico-kylian-mbappe-five-years-real-madrid-france-international-premier-league-move-psg/blt1790a2667c62e814" target="_blank">joined by France international Mbappe in the summer transfer window </a>when he reaches the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain and becomes a free agent.
