Cristiano Ronaldo took centre stage in Real Madrids Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, but can he lead Portugal to glory at Euro 2016? Cristiano Ronaldo rarely passes up an opportunity to take the limelight but he wasnt present when Portugal faced England at Wembley in a tournament warm-up. Cheap NHL Jerseys . Let me rest my legs, he said after capping another extraordinary season with Real Madrid by clinching Champions League success at the San Siro. Few could begrudge him a couple of days off.The 2015/16 campaign was the sixth in a row in which he has scored over 50 goals for the club, and his winning penalty in the shoot-out against Atletico ensured it ended with all eyes on him. Fate has a way of aligning with Ronaldo, and, just like in Lisbon two years ago, his shirtless celebration became the defining image of Reals European coronation. As Portugal prepare to start their Euro 2016 campaign, a reminder of Cristiano Ronaldos brilliant La Liga season Ronaldo converted the decisive penalty in the Champions League final The celebrations have died down and Ronaldos brief period of recuperation is over, and now his attention is firmly fixed on Portugals opening game against Iceland in St Etienne on June 12.Ronaldo is in France knowing it could be his last shot at European Championship glory. He counts three Champions League medals and three Ballon dOr awards in his personal trophy collection, but international silverware has eluded him. As he approaches the twilight of his career and ponders his legacy, he will be desperate to put that right. Ronaldos record Cristiano Ronaldo is Portugals all-time leading scorer with 56 goals and he is only two appearances short of Luis Figos record of 127. Ronaldo has a long, colourful relationship with the competition. It served to kickstart his international career when Portugal hosted Euro 2004. The Manchester United teenager scored twice and converted a penalty in Portugals shoot-out victory over England on their route to the final, but their shock defeat to Greece that year remains the closest he has come to lifting the trophy. Ronaldo in tears after Portugals Euro 2004 final defeat to Greece Euro 2008 - played to a backdrop of constant speculation surrounding his £80m move to Real Madrid - was Ronaldos most disappointing tournament. There was a goal in a group stage win over the Czech Republic, but a costly defensive lapse in the quarter-finals allowed Miroslav Klose to give Germany a 2-0 first-half lead, and he was unable to make his mark on the encounter as Portugal slipped to a 3-2 defeat.Four years later, Ronaldo went to Poland and Ukraine on the back of a record-breaking 60-goal season with Madrid. Portugal were drawn in a group of death with Germany, Netherlands and Denmark, but he propelled them into the last eight with a scintillating two-goal display against the Dutch.Ronaldo delivered another match-winning performance as Portugal edged out the Czechs to reach the last four, but he was unable to find a way through against Spain. After 120 goalless minutes in Donetsk, Ronaldos preference to be the fifth penalty taker backfired, with Cesc Fabregas converting Spains winner before he even had the chance to step up. Ronaldo did not take a penalty as Portugal were beaten by Spain in 2012 This summer, Ronaldo can become the first player to score in four separate European Championships. He is out to banish the demons of the past, but he no longer has youth on his side, and he is shouldering more responsibility than ever after Portugals efficient but uninspiring qualifying campaign.Portugal achieved qualification from Group I with seven consecutive one-goal victories after losing their opener against Albania without the injured Ronaldo. They scored just 1.4 goals per game compared to Englands 3.1, Germanys 2.4 and Spains 2.3, and their average of five shots on target per game was lower than Israel, Russia and Ukraine. Euro 2016: Ultimate guide We profile all 24 teams in action at Euro 2016, looking at their key men and chances of success. Ronaldo netted five of Portugals 11 goals, with no other player scoring more than two. A shortage of top-class striking options is hardly a new issue for Portugal, but the days of Nuno Gomes, Hugo Almeida and Helder Postiga dont look so dismal now. Postiga scored five times in Euro 2012 qualifying. Nuno Gomes hit three on their way to Euro 2008. All of them scored at major tournaments.For Euro 2016, the only out-and-out striker in Portugals squad is Eder, who has never scored in a qualifying match - let alone an actual tournament. The 28-year-old has only netted twice in 24 appearances since his international debut in 2012, and he failed to find the net in 15 games for Swansea in the first half of last season. Ronaldo has captained Portugal since 2008 Portugal boss Fernando Santos will hope for goalscoring support from Nani and Ricardo Quaresma, but that duo have combined for just five goals in 35 appearances with club and country since January. Its not exactly cause for optimism, and it all adds up to near total dependence on Ronaldo.A Euro 2016 group containing Hungary, Iceland and Austria could hardly have been more favourable, but dragging Portugal all the way to the trophy would arguably rank as his greatest achievement. The spotlight is on Ronaldo again. This time, his task looks tougher than ever.Follow Portugal v Iceland - and every game at Euro 2016 - with our live blog on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.

Bostons bats exploded in Mondays opener, as David Ortiz belted a pair of two-run homers, Stephen Drew homered and drove in four runs and the Red Sox pummeled the Blue Jays, 14-1. Marco Scandella Jersey . And Richard Bachman, their rookie goalie, is facing a penalty shot a few seconds after the opening face-off. No pressure, right? Bachman stood his ground against Zack Kassian and saw the puck dribble off the Canuck rookies stick, then settled in and backstopped the Stars to a 5-2 win over Vancouver Tuesday that put Dallas in first place in the Pacific Division. http://www.sabresauthority.com/authentic-dominik-hasek-sabres-jersey/ . -- The Phoenix Coyotes have won three in a row for the first time in 4 1/2 months, and theyve done it just in time for the stretch run to the playoffs.KAMLOOPS, B.C. -- Its one game Kevin Koe never looks forward to playing. "This one, you dont get a lot of enjoyment out of," the Alberta skip said, after beating younger brother Jamie Koe from the Northwest Territories-Yukon 8-3 in eight ends Monday at the Canadian mens curling championship. "Its never fun beating them because Im always cheering for them every year theyre here," he said. "That being said, we needed a win." Alberta improved to 3-1 at the Tim Hortons Brier, at least until the evening draw, when he was set to face unbeaten Manitoba and Jeff Stoughton. The Territories fell to 1-3. "Its good that its early in the week so hopefully both of us win the rest of our games," he added. "Theyre obviously better," Jamie said of the encounters with his brother. "Were going to have to play our best and hope for some breaks but its a fair battle." Jamie Koe has represented the Territories four out of the last five years but when Kevin has been there he has always won the brother-vs.-brother tussle. Monday also saw New Brunswicks James Grattan score his first win this year against Greg Balsdon of Ontario 9-6. Grattan gave Stoughton a fight Sunday as well and said it felt good to get a monkey off his back with the win. "When we went to bed last night we felt pretty good about it," he said of the Manitoba game. "The team in the last two games has really shown up." He says getting used to the ice has been an issue. They lost their first game 13-5 and the second 10-1. "We come from an area of the world where the ice is fairly straight all the time . . Coming out here and all of a sudden youre taking the 122-foot to get to the lid and its a different ball game. Alexander Mogilny Jersey. " Its also important to win games at the Brier if you want a reserved spot in the future. A new system is coming into place that will force the bottom finishers to compete for the right to return. Its being brought in to keep the field the same size with the addition of a Team Canada and new rinks from Nunavut and Yukon, instead of just one Territories team. P.E.I.s Eddie MacKenzie also grabbed a share of second place as he climbed to 3-1 after beating Quebecs Jean-Michel Menard. But, that could change after the evening draw. MacKenzie has already matched his combined record at his first two Brier appearances for Prince Edward Island , in 2011 and 2013. "Its definitely better than 0-5 or 0-6 like we were the last couple of times," he said. "Id say being here the last three out of four years helps for sure, playing on arena ice a little more." Saskatchewans Steve Laycock also sat at 3-1 after beating still winless Nova Scotia 5-3. "We kind of figured 3-1 or 4-0 was where wed want to be after this stretch because we do have some of the favourites coming up," he said. Nova Scotia skip Jamie Murphy isnt too thrilled at the Canadian Curling Association for the changes coming in 2015 that could see Nova Scotia have to fight for the right to play in the Brier. "Were firm believers that messing with traditions such as the Brier doesnt seem like a smart decision," he said of the new system, popularly known as relegation, although it seems anything but popular. "Were obviously biased when we say that because were probably going to be in the relegation pool."
