In the 1/8 finals of the European Championship on July 2, Beijing time, Portugal, ranked 6th in the world, faced Slovenia, ranked 57th. Portugal showed a clear advantage at the start of the game, but Slovenia's ironclad defence made it difficult for them to find the back of the net. Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates made a number of attempts, including a brilliant free-kick, but failed to find the ball in the net.
The key moment of the second half came and the Portuguese team readjusted their tactical layout after the half-time break. They understood that if they wanted to break down Oblak's solid goal, they would have to take a more decisive and powerful attack. Cristiano Ronaldo, as the heart of the team, waved his teammates and tried to find holes in the Slovenian defence.
Slovenia's defensive performance remained steadfast, showing excellent organisation and individual defensive skills. Every Portuguese attack was repelled by them one by one, whether it was possession in midfield or a breach in the box, it was quickly tackled by the Slovenian players. Their defensive line is like a strong wall, giving their opponents no chance of destruction.
On the counter-attack of the game, Slovenia almost managed to score. Swift and rapid counterattacks again and again made the Portuguese defense fall into passivity from time to time. The breakthrough of fast players such as Seshko almost gave them the lead, only to miss a good chance at the last minute due to a brilliant defense or an inaccurate last step.
The game went into extra time, and the two sides were never able to tell the winner. Even the extra 30 minutes could not change the deadlock. Portugal continued to hold their ground, trying to break down their opponents' defence with patient attacks, while Slovenia relied on quick counter-attacks to threaten the opposition's goal.
The most embarrassing scene in the game happened to Ronaldo. At the crucial moment of extra time, when the referee awarded Portugal a penalty, the eyes of the whole audience were focused on Ronaldo. He faced Oblak, and although his previous attacks had failed many times, he had a chance to change the course of the match this time.
Cristiano Ronaldo was expressionlessly adjusting his form in front of the penalty spot, knowing that this goal could make the difference between winning and losing the whole game. He stood in front of the penalty spot, looked around, and felt the pressure and sound on the court. The referee's whistle blew and Ronaldo stepped away and tried to shoot the ball into the bottom right corner of the opponent's goal.
His shot was not as good as expected, and the ball went just wide of the crossbar. This scene pierced the hearts of the Portuguese team and fans like a sharp sword. Ronaldo immediately realised his mistake and his expression shifted from excitement to frustration and disappointment. He couldn't believe he failed to capitalise on such an opportunity and deprived his team of a chance to take the lead.
The situation on the pitch was like a huge psychological game, and the fans on the sidelines were nervously waiting for the result. Some netizens expressed their opinions after seeing Ronaldo miss a penalty. A fan wrote on social media: "Ronaldo's goal is really missed, the team's chance to lead was missed by him." Another said: "But to be honest, if everybody could score under this pressure, there wouldn't be a penalty shootout. ”
After the game, videos and pictures quickly circulated online, showing Ronaldo's mood swings after missing a penalty. He stood on the field, bowing his head speechless for a while, and then looking up with tears streaming down his face. His teammates rushed up to him, comforting him and trying to cheer him up. This scene not only makes the fans feel distressed, but also shows the huge pressure and emotional turmoil that a top player is under at a critical moment.
Ronaldo eventually accepted the comfort of his team-mates, who gathered around and silently encouraged and supported. This scene also gave fans a glimpse of the humanity and emotions behind football. Whether it's a win or a defeat, every player goes through emotional turmoil, and Cristiano Ronaldo showed his tenacity and commitment as a team leader in this moment.

However, some netizens raised some questions and discussions about Seshko's performance.
