Any sliver of a doubt over whether Cristiano Ronaldo would lead Portugal into the Euro 2016 was erased on Tuesday May 31,2016 when he was named in their 23-man squad for the finals.
The 31-year-old forward, who scored the decisive penalty as Real Madrid won their 11th European Cup on Saturday May 28,2016 beating Atletico Madrid 5-3 on penalties after the scires read 1-1 at fill time, will skip Portugal's friendly against England at Wembley on Thursday.
Cristiano Ronaldo is merely recharging his batteries on holiday in Ibiza after a long season, however, and will join up with the squad in plenty of time for their opening fixture against Iceland on June 14 in Saint Etienne.
