Ronaldo is joined by a host of other Arab stars, including his compatriot Ruben Neves, Serbia's Alexander Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Romania's Nicolae Stanciu and Andrei Burca, and the Netherlands' Georginio Wijnaldum.

Spain's Aymeric Laporte, and France's N'Golo Kanté, who has already won man of the match in two of France’s two matches so far in Germany.

Turkey's Merih Demiral, Georgia's Solomon Kverkveliya, Scotland's Jack Hendry, Croatia's Marcelo Brozovic, and Belgium's duo Yannick Carrasco and Koel Casteels are others who have also represented their respective national teams at EURO 2024.
