Ronaldo's reaction when his teammates took a penalty kick

The superstar born in 1985 continuously dodged when his teammates took penalty kicks in the Nations League final in the early morning of June 9.

After 120 minutes, Spain and Portugal tied 2-2 and had to decide the winner by penalty shootout. Portugal was at a disadvantage because the player with the most experience in penalty shootouts, Cristiano Ronaldo, was not present because he left the field at the end of the second half.

Ronaldo covered his face when his teammates took a penalty kick.

When his teammates took the penalty kicks, Ronaldo looked worried. In the technical area, the former Real Madrid striker kept hiding behind Diogo Dalot or covering his face with his shirt.

"Ronaldo probably can't handle the pressure anymore," one fan commented. "It's unbelievable. Ronaldo used to be the most confident star on the 11m mark," a second person said. "The recent missed kicks probably took away Ronaldo's confidence," a fan shared.

In the final years of his career, penalty kicks from 11 meters often brought Ronaldo unpleasant experiences. At Euro 2024, the former MU star cried when he missed a penalty kick against Slovenia. In October 2024, he continued to be a sinner at the penalty spot, causing Al Nassr to be eliminated from the King's Cup. In the last time he took a penalty kick for Al Nassr in the match against Al Khaleej, the 40-year-old veteran also missed.

Ronaldo was not present in the penalty shootout but his teammates did an excellent job, thereby helping Portugal make history as the first team to win the UEFA Nations League twice. For Ronaldo, this is his first title since leaving Juventus in 2021.
