The 39-year-old striker was angry with the referee for not being awarded a penalty in Portugal’s 0-2 loss to Georgia early on the morning of June 27.

In the 28th minute of Portugal’s match against Georgia, Cristiano Ronaldo was pulled down by Luka Lochoshvili while trying to chase the ball in the restricted area.

Ronaldo fell onto the field and showed a harsh attitude. The 39-year-old striker demanded a penalty.

However, after consulting VAR, Mr. Scharer refused to give Portugal a penalty. The Swiss referee said that the impact from the Georgia defender was not enough to constitute a penalty.

With the captain’s armband, Ronaldo is the only Portuguese player allowed to communicate with the referee. However, because the player born in 1985 showed too harsh an attitude, Mr. Scharer gave CR7 a yellow card.

On the day Ronaldo marked the milestone of 50 appearances in major tournaments (EURO/World Cup), Portugal played unsuccessfully. “Seleccao” lost 2 goals to lower ranked opponent Georgia.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze scored in the 2nd and 57th minute respectively to help the team of a country with just over 3.7 million people create a miracle, winning tickets to the knockout round for the first time participating in EURO.

Antonio Silva, a young star born in 2003, became a criminal for Portugal with 2 mistakes leading to a loss.

Ronaldo was replaced in the 66th minute. The 39-year-old striker could not hide his disappointment at not being able to score at EURO 2024.
