Moment Cristiano Ronaldo bursts into tears as he sees his mum cry after his penalty miss against Slovenia

A video of football star Cristiano Ronaldo breaking down in tears upon seeing his mother, Dolores Aveiro, crying during Portugal's Euro 2024 round of 16 clash against Slovenia, has surfaced online.

The emotional moment unfolded after Ronaldo missed a crucial penalty during extra time, which could have given Portugal the lead.

Despite this setback, Portugal eventually triumphed in a dramatic penalty shootout. The match, held last night, saw Ronaldo's moment of despair when he failed to convert a penalty opportunity that could have altered the course of the game.

After the miss, as the team gathered for a pep talk from manager Roberto Martinez, Ronaldo glanced towards the stands and noticed his 69-year-old mother, Dolores Aveiro, in tears.

This sight deeply affected the star player. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Ronaldo and his teammates Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva redeemed themselves by converting their penalties, securing a victory for Portugal.
