Cristiano Ronaldo left everyone in shock after he missed a penalty during their game against Iran on Monday night.
The Portuguese superstar already has four goals to his name at the World Cup and he squandered an ideal opportunity to draw level with England striker, Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.
Ronaldo was brought down inside the penalty area by Morteza Poraliganji but Ronaldo’s spot-kick was brilliantly saved by Iran goalkeeper Ali Beiranvand.
Twitter exploded following the penalty miss by Ronald and here’s what they had to say:
@FutbolBible Cristiano Ronaldo misses the penalty and Messi fans are currently happier than Iran fans.
@GaryLineker Ronaldo misses a penalty. He’s no Harry Kane is he?
@ShadayaTawona25 Ronaldo misses a penalty. Wow this guy is just awesome, decided to miss the penalty as a gift for Messi’s birthday. Ronaldo what a guy, so considerate of others #IRNPOR #worldcup
@JackEngland96 Ronaldo missing a penalty is too funny. Can’t take the pressure of being behind Kane in the Golden boot.
@Ovie Ronaldo actually missed a penalty. This is odd.
@vuhsace Ronaldo always copying Messi, now he missing penalties lmaoo what a clown
@monicas004 no one will give credit to Ali Beiranvand because the penalty is missed by Ronaldo, a brilliant save against a good player. #PORIRN
