JAKARTA - UFC star Conor McGregor was caught placing a bet for Cristiano Ronaldo to get a Golden Boot, aka a top scorer at Euro 2024.

No kidding, McGregor installed 51 thousand pounds or around Rp. 1 billion.

However, he looked wary after Portugal had their first Group F match against the Republic of Ceska. Despite a 2-1 win, Cristiano Ronaldo did not score in that match.

Ronaldo almost made McGregor happy. However, the 39-year-old player only hit the crossbar in that match. Of course, that was a bad start.

"60 (US dollars) on @Cristiano to keep his Euro Golden Boot. Siuuu!" wrote McGregor.

In the upload, his fans teased and worried McGregor after the Portugal vs. Republic of Ceska match.

"Good start," wrote one fan sadly after Ronaldo's first game which did not score.

However, McGregor tried to be optimistic about the Portuguese superstar in the following matches. At least, Portugal shows that they still deserve to be the favorites to win Euro 2024.

This means that Cristiano Ronaldo still has the possibility of scoring goals in the future. If McGregor wins, he gets around 761,310 pounds or around Rp. 15.8 billion.

Apart from that, McGregor and Ronaldo went viral in December 2023 when the two of them sat next to each other watching a boxing duel between Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia.

They were caught on camera in an exciting chat that led to various expressions.

The meeting made the two of them friends. McGregor hopes Ronaldo's performance does not decline and looks slick in the next match at Euro 2024.

So far, Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in the six editions of the Euros he has participated in.
