During Portugal’s last-16 clash against Slovenia at Euro 2024 on Monday night, cameras picked up Cristiano Ronaldo crying after he missed a penalty near the end of the game that would have more than likely secured a win for Portugal.

Ronaldo broke down during a brief interval, with 15 minutes of extra time to go.
