Cristiano Ronaldo, the star forward of the Portuguese national team, has earned a unique distinction in the group stage of the UEFA Euro 2024. Ronaldo was the player most frequently caught offside during this phase of the tournament.

According to the stats, Ronaldo found himself in an offside position five times. Following closely was Hungarian forward Barnabas Varga, who was caught offside four times. The third spot is shared by three players: Romelu Lukaku from Belgium, Artem Dovbyk from Ukraine, and Rasmus Hojlund from Denmark, each with three offside calls.

Ronaldo participated in all three group stage matches, contributing one assist. Despite his offside woes, he played a pivotal role in Portugal's success. The Portuguese team finished first in Group F, securing six points, the same as Turkey, but ahead of Georgia (4 points) and the Czech Republic (1 point).
As a result, Portugal is set to face Slovenia in the Round of 16 on June 1st. The Euro 2024 tournament, hosted in Germany, will run from June 14 to July 14. Italy, the reigning champions, will be defending their title in what promises to be an exciting and competitive championship.
