Cristiano Ronaldo said: "The initial loss, the final ecstasy, this is the charm of football. Those indescribable moments, from the 80th minute of the game, unfolded dramatically. I had a chance to get an opportunity for my country but I couldn't take it and Oblak made a save that missed me. Maybe I should look back at that penalty and reflect on whether it was handled properly, after all, I have never missed a penalty in the past year, but I missed it at the most crucial moment, mainly because Oblak was too brave. ”
But the sadness and joy that intertwined in my heart are indescribable. The most important thing is to enjoy this step, the team has been amazing and we fought until the last minute. Looking back at the game, Portugal did deserve the win as we created more chances while Slovenia were on the defensive almost the entire game. I would like to congratulate the whole team, especially our goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who made three brilliant saves and was the biggest contributor to Portugal's advancement! We want to congratulate him together! ”
