Christiano Ronaldo's sister, Elma Aveiro, has shed light on the emotional moment that left her brother in tears after his penalty miss against Slovenia at Euro 2024. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Elma revealed that Ronaldo's tears were not just about the missed penalty, but about a poignant family moment that struck a chord.
As Ronaldo missed the penalty, he caught sight of their mother on the giant screen, which triggered an emotional response. Elma explained that this moment was more than just a game, fame, or fortune - it was about family and the memories they share.
Despite the emotional setback, Portugal went on to win the match 3-0 in the penalty shootout, with goalkeeper Diogo Costa earning the Man of the Match award for his impressive saves. Ronaldo's tears may have been a moment of vulnerability, but they also showed the human side of a football legend.
