Specifically, Ronaldo was given the opportunity to score in the Al Nassr match against Al Ain early on the morning of March 12 in the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, after the opponent’s goalkeeper made a bad catch.
However, after a counterattack, Ronaldo missed the post from 3 meters away. After the unbelievable miss, Ronaldo held his head in frustration while his teammates looked at him in shock.
Just a few seconds later, a clip of Ronaldo’s unbelievable missed opportunity was spread on social networks. Many major newspapers in Europe also republished this clip and called it “the most unbelievable miss of the season”.
If Ronaldo scores, his team will enter the semi-finals without having to play extra time. Instead, they were forced to play the final 22 minutes of extra time with 10 men before losing 1-3 on penalties.
However, the Portuguese superstar got on the scoresheet with a penalty kick in the 118th minute that sent the match to penalties after Al-Ain regained the overall lead. Ronaldo is also the only Al-Nassr player to score a goal in the penalty shootout.
