Cristiano Ronaldo has played the most games in the Euro of the 11 Madridistas currently playing the present edition. The Portuguese striker has participated in 11 encounters of three editions of the tournament. He is also the top scoring Madridista in the championship with three goals overall.
Ronaldo was only 19 when he helped Portugal reach the 2004 Euro final with Greece, participating in six encounters of the championship. He played three games in the 2008 edition and he's already played two this year.
Iker Casillas and Xabi Alonso have the most matches after Ronaldo, while Khedira, Ozil and Coentrao are making their first appearances this year and are proving to be key players for their national teams.
