VIDEO: Martinez calls-up Ronaldo, praises longevity and scoring ability

Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to set a Euro record after he was named in Portugal's 26-man 2024 squad, unveiled on Tuesday by coach Roberto Martinez.

Ronaldo, who plays his club football for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, already holds the men's world record for caps (206) and international goals (128).  He again proved indispensable as Portugal won all 10 of their qualifying games, scoring 36 goals and conceding two. Ronaldo hit 10 goals in nine qualifying appearances.  

Praising "a player who has scored 42 goals in 41 matches for his club", Martinez said he felt that the striker continued to offer "a quality in front of goal that we really appreciate and need".
