Cristiano Ronaldo was deeply emotional after failing to convert an extra-time penalty amidst drаmаtic scenes at Euro 2024.

His mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, was visibly upset in the stands as Jan Oblak made a brilliant save to deny Ronaldo’s spot-kiϲk during Portugal’s tense last-16 encounter with Slovenia.

Ronaldo appeared inconsolable following the penalty miss, with teammates including Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot offering immediate support.

However, Ronaldo regained his composure and later redeemed himself by scoring in the subsequent penalty shootout, where Portugal secured a 3-0 victory to advance to the quarter-finals after a goalless draw.

Earlier, in the 105th minute of extra time, Oblak had made a spectacular save to keep out Ronaldo’s powerful penalty, prompting a surge of emotions from the 39-year-old striker.

Teammates and his Euro 2016-winning teammate Jose Fonte acknowledged Ronaldo’s emotional response, noting his intense desire to score.

In a display of sportsmanship, Ronaldo apologized to Portugal fans after converting his shootout spot-kiϲk, reflecting his determination and mentɑl resilience throughout the challenging match.
