But Garcia didn’t stop there. On Twitter, he shared another message of encouragement. “Real men cry. Love you Ronaldo. Keep shooting and keep believing,” he tweeted.

Ronaldo's struggles in Euro 2024 stats
Ryan Garcia’s words came at a crucial moment for Cristiano Ronaldo, who was facing a tough time on the field. Since records began in 1980, Ronaldo has attempted over twice as many direct free-kicks in Euro competitions than any other player, yet he has failed to score.
At Euro 2024, he has had the most shots among players without a goal, totaling 20 attempts. This tournament marks his longest goalscoring drought in major competitions. Shockingly, he hasn't netted in his last eight Euros or World Cup games.
Ronaldo had scored his last 24 penalties in all competitions, but at the Euros, his record stands at five scored and two missed, including shootouts. For the first time in his career, Ronaldo failed to score in the group stage of a major tournament at Euro 2024. Garcia’s support highlighted the importance of resilience and belief during these challenging times.
Will he break his goal drought and lead Portugal to victory? Only time will tell.
