THE SPORTS SCAN – After his missed penalty against Slovenia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, the Portuguese number 7 was overcome with emotion.
Even the greatest champions are still human. While Portugal won a penalty in extra time against Slovenia (0-0), Cristiano Ronaldo took responsibility for hitting it. The Portuguese striker saw his attempt, halfway to the left of the goal, stopped by Jan Oblak. A few seconds later, half-time barely whistled, Ronaldo collapsed.
The Seleção idol cried hot tears. Without a doubt, the image of this Euro 2024 so far. A few seconds later, the director shows the image of his mother Dolores, in the stands, shedding a few tears, too.
Tears that recall those during Euro 2016 when the number 7 had to leave his place due to injury during the final against France. Finally, luck had finally smiled. CR7 and his teammates had managed to win the competition. Rebelote in 2024 where the Portuguese won on penalties, Monday evening, against Slovenia (0-0, 3-0 after tab).
