Cristiano Ronaldo was in tears after missing a penalty for Portugal in extra time against Slovenia during a Euro 2024 match.
Despite this, he stepped up first in the penalty shootout and led his Portugal to the quarter finals.
“As you saw, I missed the penalty but I also wanted to be the first to score, you have to take responsibility when the team should.“You can’t be afraid, I’ve never been afraid to face things head on, sometimes I get it right, sometimes I don’t get it right, but giving up is something you’ll never hear from my name,” he said.
Ronaldo also confirmed that EURO 2024 will be his last ever Euros.
“This will be my last Euro, of course. But I’m moved by this, I’m moved by enthusiasm. I was sorry for the fans. I’ll always give my best for this shirt, whether I miss it or not. And I’ll do this my whole life. You have to take responsibility,” the superstar said.
