Fans still do not believe that Cristiano Ronaldo could miss from 3 meters in the match Al Nassr vs Al Ain.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed a record £175m-a-year contract with Al-Nassr, has been in great form this season.
In addition to scoring 22 goals in 21 matches in the national championship, Ronaldo also played an important role in the Arab team’s AFC Champions League campaign, scoring 5 goals on the way to the quarter-finals.
However, in the AFC Champions League semi-final against Al-Ain, Ronaldo could not fully play the role of hero. Specifically, when given a great opportunity to level the score for Al-Nassr against Al-Ain, Ronaldo’s kick somehow missed the target from just 3 meters away.
Al-Nassr was then held to a 4-4 draw by Al-Ain, causing the match to eventually be decided by a penalty shootout and Al-Ain advanced after winning, the ones who missed the penalty on Al Nassr’s side were Telles, Brozovic and Otavio.
Cristiano Ronaldo apologized to Al-Nassr supporters, but many fans are still in shock. Sportbible newspaper quotes some typical comments.
One said: “No kidding, this is one of the worst misses I’ve ever seen in my life”, while another commented: “Probably the worst miss of all time. CR7 that I can recall”.
Meanwhile, other netizens were surprised that Ronaldo, who is often considered one of the best players along with Lionel Messi for nearly two decades, was unable to convert the team’s golden opportunity. I became a goal. This person wrote: “Even GOAT misses these opportunities”.
In the coming time, the Saudi Arabia National Championship is the only goal of Ronaldo and his teammates. Although currently ranked 2nd, Al-Nassr’s gap with top team Al Hilal is up to 12 points with only 10 rounds left.
