Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the match against Slovenia, where he missed a penalty in extra time but scored in the final. Looking ahead to the next match against France, he commented:
Match: “The one who misses is the one who tries. It’s frustrating, but the most important thing is to win. I’ve scored 200 penalties in my career. I’ve missed twice this year, but football has to be fair.“
Emotion: “I was very moved when I saw my mother. I can’t express how I feel about these unique moments, the fans and all those who are with me.“
France: “We’ll have a tough match against France. We’re going to war with renewed energy. I missed the penalty, but I wanted to be the first to score in the tie-break. Taking responsibility is essential when the team needs it.“
Last European Championship: “I’m not emotional because it’s the last European Championship, but because of the affection people have for me. After 20 years in the national team, I’m still enthusiastic about helping and encouraging people.“
