Cristiano Ronaldo burst into tears at half-time during extra time between Portugal and Slovenia. A few minutes earlier, Oblak saved him a penalty and denied him the goal he had been looking for throughout the game. and that the Al Nassr player saw closer than ever from eleven meters. He shot, missed and sank, embraced by his teammates.
The television captured the tears of Cristiano, who was consoled by his teammates in the half-time circle, and those of his mother in the box, very affected after her son’s failure.
It’s curious. The paths of Oblak and Cristiano crossed. The Slovenian goalkeeper had not missed a penalty since January 2022, while the Portuguese had not missed one since February 2022.
In the memory was, obviously, their duel in the round of the 2015-16 Champions League final.. Then, CR7 beat Oblak in the fifth and final score to give Real Madrid its eleventh European Cup. This time the story was very different.
