Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed the reason why he broke into tears after missing a crucial penalty for Portugal during Euro 2024. 

The Al Nassr forward says he didn't cry because he felt he had let his nation down but that it was down to another reason. 

'So when things go wrong, you feel that. But I love that, I know how to deal with that. But when I missed the penalty I felt bad for myself, for the fans, family - not because of other stuff. You have to express yourself. For me, if you hide this stuff, you're not being yourself.' 

Against Slovenia, Ronaldo redeemed himself as he scored in the shootout, with Portugal claiming a 3-0 victory.
