Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty against Slovenia and burst into tears inexplicably afterwards.
Portugal has qualified for the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 and will meet the French team. A match that smells of gunpowder in a rematch of the Euro 2016 final. But to qualify, the Portuguese had to fight to eliminate a valiant Slovenian team.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo did not necessarily live up to the occasion and even completely burst into tears after missing his penalty against Oblak, considered the best goalkeeper in the world. The reason for the tears is not necessarily known and the star sent a surprising message. “I could have given the Seleção an advantage, I couldn’t. During the year I didn’t miss a single time and, when I needed it most, Oblak saved. It’s a feeling of sadness and joy at the same time, but the most important thing is the qualification, the team deserved it (…) Even the strongest people have their days, I was depressed and I was sad because the team needed it… I can’t, I’ll talk about it later, I’ll talk about it later”.
