Ronaldo misses a penalty, bursts into tears…and fate saves him and Portugal (video)

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty kick for Portugal against Slovenia in the round of 16 match of Euro 2024.

Regular time ended in a goalless draw, so the two teams resorted to extra time.

In the 105th minute, Portugal won a penalty kick, and everyone thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would finally open his goal scoring record in Euro 2024.

But the famous Slovenian goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, was able to brilliantly block Ronaldo’s shot, who then burst into tears due to his sense of responsibility.

Extra time also ended in a goalless draw, so the two teams decided to go to penalty kicks, where football smiled at Portugal thanks to goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

Costa saved 3 penalty kicks, while Ronaldo successfully executed the first kick for Portugal and apologized to the fans for missing the other kick.

Bernardo Silva scored the final penalty kick, giving Portugal a 3-0 win and qualifying to face France in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals on Friday, July 5.
