adminLYON. — Portugal coach Fernando Santos is backing misfiring Cristiano Ronaldo to break his Euro 2016 duck by netting against Hungary today to help fire his side into the last 16.
Ronaldo is still waiting for his opening goal in France to become the first person to score at four consecutive European championship finals.
The 31-year-old is the holder of numerous goal-scoring records, but he has yet to hit the net at Euro 2016, despite 20 chances so far.
Ronaldo set a new Portuguese record with his 128th international cap in Saturday’s goalless draw with Austria – a milestone overshadowed by his penalty miss.
He crashed a 79th-minute spot-kick against the post in Paris having also failed to score in the 1-1 draw with Iceland last Tuesday. — AFP.
