Legendary Portugal and Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo made an unfortunate record during his side's UEFA Euro match against Georgia, failing to score in the group stage of a major international competition for the first time ever in his career. In a shocker, Georgia defeated Portugal by 2-0 in their Euro 2024 game on Wednesday night, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze being the names on the score sheet for Georgia. During the game, Ronaldo was booked for dissent, as per Goal.com. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s Georgia Upsets Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal 2–0 To Reach the Last 16 at UEFA Euro 2024.
