Cristiano Ronaldo has many fans who look up to him, and they wish and hope that he does well with Portugal again in the EUROS. The Portuguese star already won the EUROS with the Portuguese national team in 2016 in France, but his fans want him to win another as they know his career is almost coming to an end. The Portuguese star is loved by many football fans but not the Slovenian fans in attendance. Portugal is playing against Slovenia in the Round of 16 in the EUROS, and the Slovenian fans are trying everything to annoy Ronaldo during the match. Every time Ronaldo touches the ball, the Slovenian fans chant Lionel Messi's name, which is similar to what happens in Saudi Arabia when opposition fans watch Ronaldo play. The loud 'Messi... Messi' chants were heard, but Ronaldo was focused and chose to ignore them. Ronaldo is also booed heavily by the Slovenian fans when he touches the ball, and he is mocked when his shots do not go in.
Slovenia fans also had the Messi Argentina jersey in the stadium to mock Ronaldo. The cameras captured this moment as the Slovenian fans believed that they could upset the tournament by eliminating Ronaldo and Portugal. In Saudi Arabia, the opposition fans have also brought in Messi jerseys and chanted the Argentine legend's name to mock Ronaldo. CR7 would often react to those chants and would get really annoyed, but this time, he seemed focused on helping Portugal reach the quarterfinals of the EUROS.
The winner of this match goes up against France, who eliminated Belgium earlier in the day. A late own goal in the match led to France defeating Belgium 1-0. Jan Vertonghen deflected the ball into his own net after a shot by Randal Kolo Muani in the box led to the goal.
Ronaldo is the first player at Euro 2024 to have 15 shots on goal without scoring. He has attempted 58 shots from direct free-kicks at major tournaments, but he has only scored one. Ronaldo registered only an assist in the EUROS so far before the second half against Slovenia.
