Tears in the middle of the match, frankly, from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. “I could have given the Seleção an advantage,” he explained to Sport TV. “During the year I didn’t miss a single time and when I needed it most, Oblak stopped him. It’s a feeling of sadness and joy at the same time, but the most important thing is the qualification, the team deserved it.”
“Even the strongest people have their days, I was depressed and I was sad because the team needed it…” he continued, adding that he would speak “later”.
CR7, however, quickly wiped away his tears to convert his penalty during the session and put Portugal on the path to a quarter-final against the French team. He did not fail to particularly congratulate Diogo Costa, “who made three good saves” during the session.
