So, Portuguese national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty kick last night and it’s BIG DEAL – underscoring a horrendous night for the 3-time World Footballer of the Year.
It was the best chance to claim victory for his team against Austria who’re now one point behind them on Euro 2016 ‘group F’ table. After a total of 2 points in as many games, the chance of reaching the knockout stage looks bleak for Portugal.

BUT his fans and foes have come for him on Twitter and you won’t believe what they are saying.
Clearly people enjoy when the self proclaimed best footballer in the past 20 years misses a chance to win a game.
See for yourself…

you think you’re having a bad day then remember the times Ronaldo scored goal & it was offside and then missed a penalty.

Ronaldo has been worse than Sterling in the Euro’s but of course he gets away with media criticism because he isn’t a City player.

That Ronaldo penalty miss, it’s like Morcombe & Wise’s breakfast sketch. You just get a little more pleasure out of it each time you see it.

Thought Ronaldo was excellent last night. Missed some chances, but he made them and dominated the game. Weird how he’s being mocked…

If Messi misses his next 147 freekicks, he’ll still have the same conversion rate as Cristiano Ronaldo (2.1%) pic.twitter.com/q9beXuNpSg

After 2 rounds of Euro: Silent Bale, 2 superb free kicks. Celebrated Ronaldo, no goal. Arrogant Ibrahimovic, not even a single shot on goal.
