Cristiano Ronaldo was very focused and emotional at the same time before the match against Slovenia. Ronaldo could potentially play his last ever game for Portugal at a major tournament of his career as the match against Slovenia is the round of 16 of the EUROS. Ronaldo usually invites his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, to watch the match in the stands, while his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., also gets access to the best seats in the stadium. For this match, Ronaldo brought a special person in his life to the stadium, making him excited to showcase his talent on the pitch. Ronaldo’s mother and his brother Hugo were seen present at the stadium to watch the crucial match against Slovenia. Ronaldo definitely wants to prove a point in this match to help the Portuguese national team and give a great display for his brother and his mother in attendance. Ronaldo wants to achieve his first goal in the tournament after not scoring a goal in the group stage for Portugal in EURO 2024.

Ronaldo has started playing in all of Porutgal’s matches in the EUROS 2024 so far. In the first match in the tournament for the EUROS, Ronaldo played the full match against the Czech Republic. The result was a 2-1 win for Portugal, with Ronaldo not scoring a goal. In the second match, Portugal defeated Turkiye 3-0 to win two games in a row and clinch their spot in the knockout stages. CR7 got an assist that he may not have expected him to do as he was one-on-one with the keeper, but he made a simple pass to Bruno Fernandes, who scored a tap-in.

The third game did not go well for Ronaldo or Portugal, as they lost 2-0 to Georgia in the last match of their group stage. Roberto Martinez subbed Ronaldo off the game in the 66th minute, and the Portuguese legend was not happy.

Cristiano Ronaldo was emotional before the match

Ronaldo has played many crucial matches throughout his career, but he showed emotion during the national anthem against Slovenia. CR7 knows that this game is a must-win game if they want to reach the final, or else this could be Ronaldo’s last game for Portugal in EURO history.
