Cristiano Ronaldo's Penalty Miss Breaks Fan's Phone and Knocks Al-Nassr Out

web editor  

Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the best footballers in history, had a crucial moment to become a hero for his team during a King's Cup match between Al-Nassr and Al-Taawoun. With his team trailing 0-1, Ronaldo was presented with a golden opportunity to equalize in stoppage time with a penalty kick. However, in what can only be described as one of his worst efforts, Ronaldo failed to convert the penalty, leaving Al-Nassr disappointed and Al-Taawoun victorious.

However, Ronaldo' kick went well over the cross bar, so much so that it ended up hitting a kid sitting behind the goal on the hand. The young fan was trying to shoot the video of the penalty on his phone when the incident took place. The penalty miss from Ronaldo didn't just break the child's phone but also robbed Al-Nassr the opportunity of making a comeback in the game.

Al-Nssr lost the match and were knocked out from the tournament.

Since joining the Saudi Arabian club, Ronaldo hasn't won a single major trophy. The King's Cup offered Ronaldo a big opportunity to change that. But, when his team needed him to deliver, the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner floundered.

Ronaldo looked lacklustre almost the entire game. The only other real chance he had to score was when the 39-year-old took a free kick, aiming for the goalkeeper's side, but Al-Taawoun's Mailson produced a fine save to deny him the goal. As for the match, Al-Taawoun claimed the lead when defender Waleed Al-Ahmed turned in a corner in the 71st minute. Al-Nassr couldn't make a comeback to go trophyless once again this season.
