Ronaldo will participate in the sixth European Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo, a 39-year-old forward from Portugal, will compete in his sixth European Championship, while veteran defender Pepe was also included in the squad when coach Roberto Martinez announced his 26-man roster on Tuesday.

Since making his debut at the 2004 Euros, Ronaldo has scored in all of them. He has 14 goals in the championship game. In last year's European qualifying matches, he also scored ten goals.

Currently, Ronaldo is a player for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, where he has contributed 13 assists and 42 goals throughout all competitions.

"Christiano? It is preferable to discuss the data. Martinez stated, "He's a guy who has scored 42 goals for his club in 41 games.

"That shows his continuity and physical ability to always be fit, as well as the quality he has in front of goal, which we really like and need."

But Martinez has also called up Porto defender Pepe, who turned 41 this year, so Ronaldo won't be the oldest player on the team.

Pepe played a crucial role in helping Porto advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League and place third in the league behind Sporting and Benfica with 38 appearances. They're in the Cup final as well.

"Pepe plays a significant role in the locker room because of his representation of the national team uniform. Football is, in my opinion, always difficult throughout training camp," Martinez continued.

"And it was intriguing to watch Pepe play two games in March and finish the ninety minutes of action with a clean sheet. When he's in shape, his positioning and communication make him a vital player."

Nine Premier League players, including Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Diogo Jota, and Ruben Dias, have been called up. There is just one Sporting player in the team: Goncalo Inacio.

Defenders: Diogo, Danilo Pereira, and Antonio Silva of Benfica 

Forwards: Goncalo Ramos (PSG), Joao Felix (Barcelona), Pedro Neto (Wolves), Rafael Leao (AC Milan), Diogo Jota (Liverpool), Francisco Conceicao (Porto), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), and Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr).
