Cristiano Ronaldo slammed for ‘utterly embarrassing’ reaction to penalty miss

Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily criticised for his reaction to missing a penalty for Portugal against Slovenia at Euro 2024.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward was handed the opportunity to break the deadlock in the round of 16 game when the referee pointed to the spot in extra time following a contentious foul on Diogo Jota in the box.

Jan Oblak was equal to the 39-year-old’s spot kick, however, and went on to keep a clean sheet against one of the tournament’s heavy hitters after 120 minutes.

Ronaldo burst into tears at the break and had to be consoled by teammates, in particular Man United full-back Diogo Dalot.
