Ronaldo stunned Bruno.

Ronaldo nearly became the villain for Portugal with his missed penalty in the second leg of the Nations League quarter-finals on the morning of March 24th.

In the 6th minute of the match against Denmark, Cristiano Ronaldo earned a penalty after being fouled by Patrick Dorgu inside the penalty area. However, the 40-year-old superstar failed to beat Kasper Schmeichel in the one-on-one situation.

Bruno celebrates before Ronaldo takes the penalty.

Before Ronaldo took the penalty kick, Bruno Fernandes raised his hands in celebration. When the ball was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper, the midfielder, born in 1994, covered his head, clearly surprised.

Fans on social media relentlessly criticized CR7's inaccurate penalty kick. User Elmi218 wrote: "That was the worst penalty kick I've ever seen." Meanwhile, fan kokkikumar98 sarcastically commented: "How could Ronaldo take a shot like that? It looked like a pass to the goalkeeper." And user blackyy_gee bluntly stated: "I've never seen Ronaldo take a penalty kick with such a lack of confidence."

Ronaldo no longer seems to provide reassurance in penalty situations for Portugal. Before his disastrous penalty kick against Schmeichel, CR7 had previously burst into tears after missing a penalty against Slovenia in the Euro 2024 Round of 16.

After missing an opportunity to open the scoring for Portugal, Ronaldo redeemed himself with a goal from a tight angle in the 72nd minute, helping "Seleccao" defeat Denmark and secure a place in the Nations League semi-finals.

Ronaldo has the opportunity to win his first title after five years without any trophies at all levels. However, he and his teammates will have to overcome the tough challenge of facing Germany in the semi-final match in June.
