After his failed penalty in Portugal-Austria (0-0), Cristiano Ronaldo hid neither his disappointment if his mistakes.
Difficult awakening for the Portuguese this morning after having conceded a second draw in two games, this time facing Austria at the Parc des Princes. There is one for whom the night had to be very long, and it is Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese tried everything yesterday, without success. The opposing keeper, the pole, the Austrian defenders, all together against cricket.

Said the Real Madrid player who had the opportunity to save Portugal by turning a penalty in the 79th minute.

The disappointment was visible on the face of the “best player of all time” (it is his agent who says it). But at least this time he did not dismiss the fault on his opponents as he had done after the match against Iceland.

The last chance game, Hungary-Portugal will take place next Wednesday in Lyon. It’s going to be hot! Are you disappointed with Ronaldo’s Euro?
