If you happen to be friends with someone who is a die-hard Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo fan, then please check in on them. A Ronaldo penalty miss for Al Nassr in their King Cup game is the latest blow to the fanbase.
On Tuesday Ronaldo had the opportunity to tie Al Nassr’s Round of 16 King Cup game against Al-Taawoun with a penalty kick in stoppage time. In shocking fashion, he missed the entire goal.
Al Nassr would lose 1-0 and be eliminated from the tournament after making the final last season.

Al-Taawoun sit ninth in the Saudi Pro League but did finish fourth in the table last season. Center back Muteb Al-Mufarrij rubbed salt into CR7’s wounds as he jumped into Ronaldo’s face shortly after the missed penalty.

This marks the 31st time Ronaldo has missed a penalty kick and his second this calendar year after he failed to convert against Slovenia in Euro 2024.
He’s scored four penalties for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League this season including two in October. In his entire career he’s scored from the penalty spot 167 times.
Between Ronaldo missing a game-tying penalty, Vinicius Jr. missing out on the Ballon d’Or and Barcelona winning 4-0 in El Clásico, it’s been a rough week for Real Madrid stans.
