Ronaldo explains why he broke down in tears after missing a penalty at the Euros

Cristiano Ronaldo blames himself too much psychologically, so emotional breakdowns occur. This is what the Portuguese footballer himself said.

This is how the Al-Nasr forward explained his tears after missing a penalty at Euro 2024. Then Ronaldo broke down in tears because he felt bad about missing the chance, and it was in extra time.

“Oblak’s save was incredible and I didn’t cry because I thought I didn’t score a penalty and if Portugal get eliminated, the whole world will be mad at me, not because of that, who else but me, know yourself

Let’s imagine that I scored the last 27 penalties and then didn’t score – and I was sick of myself, not because of the people in the stadium, the children, the mother, the girlfriend. Do you think if I hadn’t scored, I thought all over Portugal they would have said we were relegated because of Cristiano? I didn’t think so.

I started crying because I was stressing myself out. Since I was 11 years old, I have been telling myself that I am the best player in the world. I always thought like this, and I prepared myself for it. And when everything goes well, then everything is fine with me, but when something goes wrong… I love this attitude, but at that moment when I missed the penalty, I felt bad,” Cristiano said on his YouTube channel.

Earlier, Ronaldo named his goal before retirement.
