Euro 2024 has so far seen none of Europe's biggest names really have their say in the competition.
All the pre-tournament talk was about Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Kai Havertz, but we've only seen fleeting moments from the trio as well as Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo played in all three of Portugal's group games but has yet to get off the mark in this tournament, which could be his last for his country.
Speaking to Grovesnor Sport, former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique predicts that the 39-year-old will come to the forefront when Portugal takes on Slovenia in their last-sixteen clash.
He said: “Portugal’s round of 16 game against Slovenia is where Cristiano Ronaldo will turn up.
"He didn’t have the best group stage and was criticised for his performances. I don’t think Slovenia is an easy game for Portugal, but I think they will win the game 1-0 with Cristiano scoring the winner.
"He will turn up and prove his doubters from the group stages wrong, as he has done so often in the past.”
