It looks like this is not his night. After missing several free-kick attempts for Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo also failed to score from the penalty spot against Slovenia in the UEFA Euro 2024 round of 16.

Shortly after Jan Oblak saved his shot, the 39-year-old was seen devastated. With Cristiano in tears, the rest of Portugal tried to console him before returning for the second half of extra time.

15′ minutes into the extra time, Ronaldo took charge of the penalty in Portugal’s favor to try and break the deadlock in Frankfurt. But Atletico Madrid star Oblak guessed the striker’s intention, diving to his left to deflect the shot to the corner.
