Halfway through extra time, the Portuguese footballers rallied around him. They patted him on the shoulders, supported him, encouraged him. He was the center of attention at that moment. Thirty-nine years and he left the circle in tears. When the director cut to the shot of the grandstand, his mother, sitting in the VIP box, cried too. After all, the experienced Cristiano Ronaldo could have comfortably decided the round of 16 of the European Championship against Slovenia (3:0 on penalties) already in extra time, but he did not give a penalty at the crucial moment.
