Euro 2024 LIVE: England boss Gareth Southgate ‘finished’ as Cristiano Ronaldo scolded | Football | Sport


Didi Hamann has accused Cristiano Ronaldo of letting Portugal down by bursting into tears following his missed penalty against Slovenia.

“All he thinks about is himself,” Hamann told RTE Sport. “I think he showed his true colours again.

“Missing the penalty, he starts crying on the pitch, he starts crying at half-time in extra-time. And I’m thinking: ‘It’s not all about you’.

“There’s a squad of 26 players. There’s 20 staff, there’s 30 or 40,000 fans in there. It’s not about you. You try to be mutual, but I was cheering Slovenia on because I thought the reaction was embarrassing.

“I thought it was out of order. I’ve never seen anything like it. Once you show emotions, once you get emotional, it’s the end of it, so that was the point where the manager had to say you’ve got to come off because you’re not in the right frame of mind to carry on playing.

“He will start the next game but I can’t see any other outcome than a France win.”
