Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal will lock horns against Slovenia in the Euro 2024 Round of 16 match today (July 1).

After finishing top of their group, Portugal fell to defeat in their final group stage match against Georgia. It is going to be a massive encounter for Portugal as they look to progress to the quarterfinals.

Portugal won their first two matches and Ronaldo played mostly a peripheral part in it. The 39-year-old was criticized for his performance in the first match but managed to silence the critics in the 3-0 win over Turkey after providing an assist for Bruno Fernandes.

Ronaldo then had yet another underwhelming outing in the Georgia match. As Portugal take on Slovenia in the knockouts, there are doubts whether Ronaldo will be handed a start by Roberto Martinez.
