23 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo began his Portugal story. Today, that story is bigger than statistics. He inherited a national team still searching for its defining era and helped turn Portugal into a side that expected to compete for the biggest prizes. Euro 2016. Nations League titles. International scoring records. Six World Cups. Six European Championships. Different generations. Different managers. Different teammates. Same constant. Ronaldo. People can debate who is the better player. That's football. But when it comes to what Cristiano Ronaldo has represented for Portugal over two decades, pretending his impact is ordinary is simply rewriting history. He didn't just wear the Portugal shirt. He gave it an era. 🇵🇹🐐
