Euro: players with most editions
As it has already been widely noted, Cristiano Ronaldo has played in his 6th Euro; he is the only such player in the history of the tournament.
At the previous tournament (Euro 2020) he also was the only one with 5 participations. Now two more players have taken part in their 5th Euro, Luka Modric and Pepe.
The list shows all the players who featured in 4+ Euros, as well as those who were included in the squad list 4+ times, but did not play in all possible tournaments (4 such players, including Rui Patricio who always sat on Portugal bench during Euro 2024).
