Cristiano Ronaldo was left in tears after missing a penalty for Portugal in their Euro 2024 showdown with Slovenia on Monday night

Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised for his meltdown during his Portugal's latest game.

Ronaldo was left in tears after missing a penalty for Portugal in their Euro 2024 showdown with Slovenia on Monday night.

Roberto Martinez's side were given the chance to open the scoring from 12 yards out after Liverpool's Diogo Jota was bundled down inside the box.

Ronaldo stepped up, ready to seize his moment having failed to score a goal at the competition so far, but was gutted when he missed the spot kick.

Speaking on GB News sports correspondent Aiden Magee said: "I think it was actually quite sad. Last night we saw a player who is at the very end of his career. He's taking in every kick on that pitch, even the ones that reveal an impossible angle to score from.

"It's a player who's too powerful within that squad. He's playing on the side, players who've won the Champions League and yes, he's an extremely important player in Portuguese football, he is an extremely important person within world football."
