Striker Cristiano Ronaldo burst into tears on the field after missing a penalty in the match between Portugal and Slovenia.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for his first goal at EURO 2024 faced a setback as he missed a penalty against Slovenia, with goalkeeper Jan Oblak making a crucial save. The Portuguese captain, visibly emotional, broke down in tears on the field as the first overtime period concluded. His teammates, starting with Diogo Dalot and later Pepe, provided consolation to the 39-year-old superstar during this poignant moment.

Ronaldo sobbed.

In this match, Whoscored scored 6.7 points for Cristiano Ronaldo, the lowest score among Portugal’s top 11 players. This forward took 8 shots, almost half of the team’s total and only 2 shots less than Slovenia. However, the 39-year-old superstar is still unable to score.

The Portuguese midfielders put all their effort into providing assists for their captain, but Ronaldo continually missed opportunities. This is an issue that coach Martínez must consider before the match against France in the quarterfinals.

The Portuguese captain was disappointed.

Teammates console Ronaldo.

Ronaldo did not play well in the two main periods and 30 minutes of extra time, but Portugal had a “savior” in goalkeeper Diogo Costa. He blocked Benjamin Sesko’s shot in a faceoff position, helping the home team maintain a 0-0 draw to send the match to penalties.

This goalkeeper even blocked the first 3 penalty kicks of the Slovenian team. Meanwhile, Ronaldo took not the last shot but the first. He is one of the three Portuguese players who managed to score in the penalty shootout.
