Cristiano Ronaldo, the world football star, confirmed at the end of the match against Slovenia that Euro 2024 will be his last appearance in this tournament.
According to reports, the Portuguese national team advanced to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals by defeating Slovenia in a penalty shootout.
Ronaldo had the chance last night against the Slovenian national football team to open the opponent’s goal from the penalty spot, but Jan Oblak saved his shot. Ultimately, the Portuguese national football team reached the top eight of Euro 2024 with a 3-0 victory over Slovenia in penalties.
Ronaldo has not scored in Euro 2024 so far, but Portugal’s advancement to the top eight will give the world’s top football scorer a chance to increase his goal tally in this tournament.
Reuters reported that when Ronaldo’s penalty in extra time was saved by Jan Oblak, he said, “Sorrow in the beginning, joy in the end. That’s football. Moments, inexplicable moments, a direct shot to give the team the lead, and I failed. Oblak made a good save… I have to see the penalty again. I don’t know if I shot it well or badly, but I haven’t missed it once throughout the year, and when I needed it more, Oblak saved it.”
Describing this game as a sensitive one for Ronaldo, he commented on the possibility of saying goodbye to the Portuguese national team, “Disappointment has never been tied to my name, but undoubtedly this is my last Euro.”
As Cristiano Ronaldo prepares to bid farewell to Euro 2024, his legacy in international football remains indelible. Despite the disappointment of missing a crucial penalty, his determination and resilience throughout his career have made him one of the sport’s greatest players.
As he reflects on his final tournament appearance, Ronaldo leaves behind a remarkable journey filled with numerous accolades and unforgettable moments on the international stage.
