Cristiano Ronaldo Appears to Cry After Missing Penalty vs Slovenia in Emotional Video

Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly emotional after missing a crucial penalty during Portugal’s Round of 16 fixture against Slovenia on Monday night.

The Al-Nassr forward, who had been in red-hot form prior to the European Championship, experienced another frustrating outing at the tournament.

Despite taking the most shots on goal during the championship, Ronaldo had failed to score in his previous three group-stage games and was expected to end his goal-scoring drought against the lowly-ranked Slovenia.

Throughout regulation time, Ronaldo’s efforts were thwarted by Slovenia’s goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, pushing the game into extra time.

The missed opportunity left Ronaldo visibly distraught, and he appeared to be on the verge of tears following the incident.
