Cristiano Ronaldo's bizarre move against Czech Republic everyone is talking about
It's no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most phenomenal athletes in history, and it was on full display at kick-off for Portugal's opener against Czechia in Euro 2024.
At 39 years old, Ronaldo has been playing at the top level of football for over 20 years and made history by becoming the first player to reach six European Championships.
Even in his old age for an athlete, Ronaldo broke protocol rather than more new records at kick-off, showing off his ultra-fast speed towards Czechia's box before the ball was kicked.

According to GOAL, the former Arsenal defender has backed Ronaldo to continue playing at a level where he could feature at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Gallas said: "I think he will. He will be 41 when the next World Cup comes around, but, if you look at the shape that he's in and the goals that he's scoring, then I don't see why he won't be targeting that as well."
