After Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal attempted a free kick against Slovenia from an absurd angle, supporters made fun of his ridiculous attempt.

The 39-year-old made an impression in the first few minutes of their match against Frankfurt in the Euro 2024 last-16 as he frantically tried to increase his tournament goal total.
Ronaldo is competing in what will likely be his final European Championship, and he is focused on helping Portugal win the championship twice.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo’s attempt to score in Germany has not resulted in a goal, and supporters were incredulous when he attempted to score against Slovenia from an almost impossible angle.

The Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva appeared poised to chip the ball into the box from a free-kick granted to Portugal deep in Slovenia’s half, close to the corner flag.

When Ronaldo attempted valiantly to score his first goal at Euro 2024, he was left feeling dissatisfied.

As he tried to challenge Jan Oblak from range, though, captain Ronaldo overruled the call with his armband authority and stole the ball.

An attempt from such a sharp angle was never in favour of a shot, and Ronaldo’s hopeful attempt inevitably ended up going way wide and out for a goal-kick.

He had made a better attempt moments earlier, pressing Portugal to force an early goal, only to have it sail just inches past the crossbar.

Social media users swiftly condemned Ronaldo for his erratic free-kick, with one comment on X asking, “What in the world is Ronaldo doing shooting from there?” That is very pathetic.

Another remark said, “This is embarrassing from Ronaldo,” as the veteran striker grinned regretfully following his absurd try.

After learning that Ronaldo had only scored once in his previous 58 free kick attempts, a third internet critic advised the five-time Champions League winner to “retire.”

If Ronaldo is unable to score against Slovenia, it will be his sixth straight game without a goal at a major tournament while playing for Portugal.

‘Ronaldo is growing that desperate for a goal he’s hitting freekicks from anyplace,’ joked another scathing remark that made fun of the Al-Nassr star.
