- LISTEN to It’s All Kicking Off! EUROS DAILY: Is Gareth Southgate’s LACK of ego a strength or a weakness for England?
- BBC Sport mocked Cristiano Ronaldo following his penalty miss v Slovenia
- Ronaldo was left in tears but subsequently scored in the shootout success
John Terry has labelled the BBC a ‘disgrace’ after the broadcaster mocked Cristiano Ronaldo for his penalty miss in Portugal’s victory against Slovenia.
Ronaldo had the opportunity to score the winner from the penalty spot in the closing stages but his effort was kept out by Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
As they showed a replay of the penalty, the BBC added the caption ‘Misstiano Penaldo’, which sparked a furious reaction from former Chelsea star Terry. In an Instagram story, Terry stated: ‘BBC this is a disgrace.’
Ronaldo was left in tears following his penalty miss. However, the 39-year-old managed to redeem himself by scoring from the spot as Portugal won 3-0 in the shootout to make it through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
Sadio Mane, who is team-mates with Ronaldo at club level for Al-Nassr, also defended Ronaldo as he wrote: ‘“You remain a great champion! CR7’.
