Cristiano Ronaldo's performance at Euro 2024 has been marked by emotional highs and lows, notably missing a crucial extra-time penalty against Slovenia before redeeming himself in the subsequent shootout, helping Portugal advance to the quarter-finals. His missed penalty, saved by Jan Oblak—one of only two goalkeepers to have saved penalties from both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi—led to a tearful moment influenced by seeing his mother in the stands. Despite criticism from some commentators and calls to be dropped, Ronaldo remains a focal point for Portugal, who now face France next. This tournament is likely Ronaldo's last European Championship, and he has struggled with inefficiency, failing to score despite numerous attempts, raising questions about his continued role in the team. However, his legacy as one of football's greatest remains intact, though his current form has sparked debate about his impact on the team's success.
