Portugal were sweltering. In a tough 90 minutes against Slovenia, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates were forced to take penalties to qualify for the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, against the Blues. A tough qualification, especially for the Portuguese star, who burst into tears after missing a penalty kick against Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak. A scenario that the Al-Nassr striker will remember.
The Portugal captain recovered from his shot on target, but emotions were still high when the final whistle blew. “The initial sadness and the final joy, that's what football gives, inexplicable moments, that's what happens. I could have given the Seleção the advantage, but I couldn't. All year I didn't miss a single penalty, and when I needed it most, Oblak saved it. It's a feeling of sadness and joy at the same time, but the most important thing is to qualify, the team deserves it.”CR7 explained to the Portuguese media.
“My last euro, without a doubt.”
Before returning to the sequence of the missed penalty kick during extra time. “Slovenia spent almost all their time defending, I congratulate the team, especially the goalkeeper who made three good saves. Even the strongest people have their days, I was depressed and sad because the team needed it. I can't, I'll talk about it later, I'll talk later”He said after qualifying.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has now qualified, confirmed that he is ready to face the French team in the quarter-finals. “We will have a tough game against France and we will go to war. I have never been afraid to face things head-on, and surrender is something you will never hear associated with my name. “This is without a doubt my last Euro,” he added.The man has scored 130 international goals. See you on Friday at the Volksparkstadion (9pm).
