Portuguese also that group is very easy for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo will also be present just to get more international cap's what else, can he still score till then hehe. Spain has Norway they have good player's growing up fastly both Haaland and Arsenal Captain will do well to qualify. England and Italy has been sucked together since the last Euro's hosted by England

Cristiano Ronaldo is already 37 years old and he will be 38 in a few months. Personally I don't expect him to take part in Euro 2024. He may retire from international football after the FIFA World Cup of 2022 (although he may persist with club football for some more time). And that will put Portugal in a lot of trouble. Because at this point, Portugal is essentially a one-man army led by Ronaldo. Once he is retired, they will find themselves in trouble. Because none of the younger players (Pedro Neto, João Félix, Gonçalo Ramos, Rafael Leão, Diogo Jota.etc) are capable of filling the vacuum.

Ronaldo is currently not playing at all in his club, so it is possible that he will not even play at the World Cup, because the question is what condition he will be in and how ready he will be to play.
It is possible that the Portuguese coach will bring him into the game later, depending on the result of each game.
However, it is obvious to all objective observers that his time has passed and that he is living on his old glory.
I really don't think Portugal will be much weaker without Ronaldo, in fact I think they will do better because they will have a better balanced team, with players who all play both defense and attack and no one has special privileges in the team.
