Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, a player for the Saudi Al-Nasr club, revealed that the tears that flowed after he failed to take a penalty kick during the match against Slovenia in the round of 16, were because it was his last European championship.
The Portuguese newspaper Ojogo published Ronaldo’s statements in which he announced that “Euro 2024” was influenced not only by the end of his career in European tournaments, but also by his deep love for football and his appreciation for the support of the public and his family.
Ronaldo stressed that failure to score would not hinder his career, reviewing the positives of his experience by saying: “The most important thing is the final result, and we deserve to qualify.”
The Portuguese national team dominated the match that took place with the Slovenia national team in Euro 2024, which took place yesterday, Monday, at the Frankfurt Arena in Germany, in the quarter-finals, but it was unable to score against Slovenia, and Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty kick for Portugal in the first extra period, and regular time ended. The extra time was tied 0-0, so the two teams moved to penalty kicks.
Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa excelled and saved three penalty kicks from Slovenia, ensuring Portugal’s 3-0 victory.
