Cristiano Ronaldo to Luka Modric: 5 footballers in last UEFA Euro Championships
The ongoing UEFA Euro Championships might be the last appearance in this tournament for some of the top footballers in the world. At 36 years of age, Cristiano Ronaldo is still creating waves in Euro 2020 -- both on and off the field. However, Ronaldo's Portugal team is on the brink of elimination in the 'Group of Death' if his side loses their final group game against France on Wednesday (June 23) night. Croatia's Luka Modric, former teammate of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, is also in his last Euro Championships and broke a big record on Tuesday (June 22) by becoming the oldest scorer for his national side. Here we take a look at five footballers, who might be taking part in their final UEFA Euro Championships.
