The match between Portugal and Slovenia in the 1/8 round of Euro 2024 was extremely tense. After 90 minutes of play, the two teams were tied 0-0, sending the two teams into extra time.

The turning point in the match took place in the 103rd minute when Diogo Jota boldly dribbled the ball into Slovenia’s penalty area and was fouled by Drkusic. The referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot for Portugal.

It was thought that this was an opportunity for C. Ronaldo to score to help Portugal create a difference and help him set a great record at Euro 2024, but the player born in 1985 could not win against goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

CR7’s missed penalty kick caused the pressure on this player and the Portuguese team to increase. To the point that even an experienced person like C. Ronaldo could not control his emotions.

The Portuguese superstar sobbed like a child right on the field while the whole team gathered to encourage each other’s spirit before the second extra time. In the end, teammates had to run to comfort and boost CR7’s spirit. That image showed the spirit of solidarity of the European Selecao.

Fortunately, C.Ronaldo did not have to pay the price for his mistake. Because Portugal still has goalkeeper Diogo Costa playing extremely well. Porto’s goalkeeper saved the situation when facing Benjamin Sesko (Pepe lost the ball dangerously). Then, in the penalty shootout, Diogo Costa successfully saved all three of Slovenia’s penalties.

C.Ronaldo also made amends when he successfully scored a penalty in the “shootout” series, helping Portugal win 3-0.

When bad luck in Euro 2024 still sticks, C. Ronaldo can enter the match against France in the quarterfinals with certain pressure. He has not scored in this year’s tournament despite launching many shots. Typically, in the match against Slovenia, CR7 had 8 shots but still could not register on the scoreboard.
