Ronaldo expressed his emotions after the penalty miss, stating, "I cried the day I missed the penalty... it’s not because I felt that if I don't score Portugal will be eliminated, and the world will collapse on me." This reveals the depth of his passion and emotional investment in the game, highlighting how personal responsibilities weigh heavily on him, particularly during high-stakes moments.
He elaborated that, "Imagine that the last 27 penalties, you score. And in that period, you feel bad for yourself... I feel sad because of that." This emphasizes Ronaldo's awareness of the impact on his loved ones and fans, showcasing the duality of an athlete's pursuit of excellence and the heartfelt connections that stem from their performance.
Ronaldo said, "When you have passion for what you are doing, you can't be worried about how you're feeling." He conveyed that true passion often overshadows emotional turmoil, transforming vulnerability into strength, which is a lesson relevant far beyond the football pitch.
