Cristiano Ronaldo made a surprising decision to let Bruno Fernandes take a free kick during Portugal's Euro 2024 quarter-final with France, catching fans and the cameraman off guard. Despite Ronaldo's struggles with free kicks, he opted to pass up a crucial opportunity, which ultimately led to no goal. This decision came after Ronaldo's emotional extra-time penalty miss against Slovenia, where he was consoled by teammates and later redeemed himself in the shootout. As Ronaldo aims to score in Euro 2024 and achieve various milestones, including being the oldest player to score in a shootout, his performances continue to draw mixed reactions, with some criticizing his desperation and selfishness while others acknowledge his undeniable presence and box office appeal on the field.
