A lot is riding on Cristiano Ronaldo‘s shoulders as the Portuguese heads into his last Euros with the national team. With the soccer icon keen on repeating the heroics of 2016, Cristiano will have to bank on the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Ruben Dias, and Ruben Neves. Both Cristiano and Dalot have gotten close over the years following their stint together at Manchester United.

Cristiano will hope Diogo Dalot can perform to the best of his abilities this summer as the team looks to clinch the title. With a big summer ahead of him, the Manchester United star will surely get some inspiration from his fiancee Claudia Lopez, who looks to be in attendance to support her partner. Dalot and Lopez have been a thing since 2020, with the pair first meeting each other during the defender’s spell at AC Milan.

Diogo Dalot took things to the next level last summer after proposing to his girlfriend following a Chris Brown concert in Manchester. The defender took over the concert as the area was showered with roses while the bright LEDs in the arena flashed the words “Marry Me”! I mean, that must have taken some effort. It’s not every day you see someone book a concert just to propose to their partner.

Dalot and his fiancee gave birth to their daughter Clara in November 2023 with the couple penning a heartwarming message for their newborn child. Dalot, who was training with the national team, quickly applied for an absence, as he wanted to be with his partner during the time of delivery.

Diogo Dalot is all set for the Euros following his daughter’s birth

Diogo Dalot would love to give it all on the pitch as the player plans to lift the Euros with the Portuguese national team. Winning the trophy would be special for the player, considering it would come just months after the birth of his daughter. The Manchester United star opened up on his form, heading into the tournament, claiming he felt better than ever.

The defender stated, “My career has been progressive. I don’t hide that it’s a good moment, perhaps the best in my career. But it’s worth it. If I don’t continue to demonstrate that, I deserve to play. The work continues day by day, in the same way, to continue with the level of fitness that I have been demonstrating. This recognition from my colleagues, from those who see me every day, and from those with whom I suffer and celebrate, was great. It’s a special recognition.”

It seems like the player is all set for the challenge and will look to help Cristiano Ronaldo clinch the European silverware. What are your thoughts on Diogo Dalot’s growth as a player? Sound off in the comments below.
