ROMA – A missed penalty that could have been decisive, the tears, the reaction of his teammates who immediately rushed to console him. For Cristiano Ronaldo, it was a special evening in the Portugal match against Slovenia. But great champions also know how to do this: cry, get up, be decisive again. And so it was, because CR7, in the final penalty shootout, did not miss a second time. Yet there has been a lot of criticism.
BBC’s Criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo
The BBC went hard on him, and they had a lot of fun in the studio after the penalty missed by the Portuguese star. “Misstiano Penaldo”they renamed it. That is, “miss pen”, missed penalty. The joke made everyone laugh, except John Terry. The former Chelsea and England defender wrote in an Instagram story: “BBC, this is a disgrace”. Many fans also criticized the broadcaster’s “title”. It must be said that the famous program “Match of the Day” hopefully uses provocative puns by exploiting irony.
