VIDEO | Cristiano's Incredible Mistake: How Could He Miss That?
The Portuguese star had an uncharacteristic error that is making headlines around the world. With the goalkeeper beaten, the least expected outcome was what actually happened.
Al-Nassr was eliminated from the Asian Champions League after losing in the penalty shootout against Al-Ain in the quarter-final second leg. Cristiano Ronaldo played a significant role, both positively and negatively.
The Portuguese star scored a penalty goal in the 118th minute of extra time, giving Al-Nassr the chance to take the game to penalties. In the shootout, Ronaldo was the only one from his team to convert his penalty.
However, CR7 also made an error in the match that has been making headlines worldwide due to its uncharacteristic nature. With only the goalkeeper to beat and a clear chance to score, Cristiano did the hardest thing possible.
The mistake occurred in the 61st minute with the score tied 2-2, which would have put Al-Nassr ahead 3-2 in the tie if he had scored. There was still half an hour left to find the fourth goal.
It's understandable that Cristiano reacted vehemently, unable to believe, like everyone else, what he had just missed. Perhaps, it was the most glaring error of his entire career.
