Cristiano Ronaldo was in floods of tears after missing an extra-time penalty in Portugal’s Euro 2024 last-16 match against Slovenia. His mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, was seen distraught in the stands after Jan Oblak’s brilliant save from Ron’s spot-kick in the 105th minute.
Despite this setback, Ronaldo redeemed himself in the subsequent shootout. Portugal won 3-0 on penalties following a 0-0 draw. Ronaldo not only scored his penalty but also apologized to the fans, showing his mental strength. After Oblak’s save, Ronaldo initially put his head in his hands but later broke down in tears at the end of the first period of extra time, consoled by his teammates. Ronaldo entered the game on a career-worst run of seven international tournament games without a goal.
Despite Portugal’s struggles against Slovenia’s strong defense, Ronaldo’s perseverance paid off. In the shootout, he confidently scored, sending his spot-kick into the opposite corner from his earlier attempt, and humbly apologized to the fans. Portugal then clinched a comfortable victory as Slovenia crumbled under the pressure.
