A strange shot from Ronaldo’s biggest fan after Portugal’s exit from the Euro Championship
Hardcore Cristiano Ronaldo fan and popular internet personality IShowSpeed has sent the player a message following Portugal’s Euro 2024 exit. The Portuguese were eliminated by France in the quarter-final on penalties (5-3) after a goalless draw in 120 minutes in Hamburg on Friday (July 5).
Although Ronaldo converted his penalty, Joao Felix’s miss in the shootout proved costly for Roberto Martinez and Co. Speed, who posted a clip of watching the penalty shootout on Instagram, was seen slamming the walls and table around him in frustration.
He seemingly injured his hand in the process and posted an image of that on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it:
Ronaldo is 39, and this could well be his final major international tournament. The 2026 World Cup is two years away, and although the Al-Nassr striker is in top shape, it’s unlikely that he will feature in that competition.
Moreover, his current club contract runs out in the summer of 2025. If he decides to call it a day in club football, it could well mean that this is the last of Ronaldo on a significant international platform.
He has made 212 appearances across competitions for Portugal, bagging 130 goals. The former Manchester United man also won the European Championships with his nation in 2016, beating France 1-0 in the final in extra time.
