Cristiano Ronaldo created memorable images at the European Football Championship in Germany. The 39-year-old superstar shed bitter tears during the match after missing a penalty on Monday night against Slovenia. Several teammates tried to console Ronaldo on the pitch, but during the break in extra time all emotions came out of the record scorer of the European Championship.

Ronaldo had missed immediately before (minute 105) with a penalty taken by Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Oblak had directed Ronaldo's powerful attempt onto the post. This is already the sixth European Championship for the star player. Previously, Ronaldo had remained goalless in all three group games of this European Championship. In his first five appearances, the attacker had scored at least one goal each time.
