It has not been a bed of roses for Cristiano Ronaldo to perform at the highest level for more than 20 years. And to think that, even at 39 years of age, he still stands, is incredible. But, he faced a major setback yesterday after Portugal lost to France in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals leaving a lot of fans sad. But one person who might have been the most aggrieved is his support system, Georgina Rodriguez. However, having been cheering him from the stands, Georgina decided to go positive instead unlike the fans who expressed grief for CR7’s exit.

Rodriguez has now come out to thank all the fans for their support instead of talking about yesterday’s loss. Knowing that it wouldn’t change anything she took to her Instagram and posted a few pics of Ronaldo and her Euro spell. She then wrote a message along with it saying, “What beautiful emotions we have experienced this Euro ❤️ Thank you for always @portugal 🇵🇹⭐️❤️,” thanking all the supporters. A strong heart shown by Rodriguez was commendable, to say the least as Ronaldo’s partner has never shied away from supporting him in the best and the worst times.

This Euro has been quite daunting for Cristiano Ronaldo. Many emotions were triggered during the tournament and one that caught everyone’s eye was when the highest goalscorer in the world cried after the second half against Slovenia. Having missed a penalty in the game, Cristiano broke into tears and was consoled by his teammates which resulted in some emotional fans on social media.

In addition, his mother Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro was also seen crying after him but was calm after the result. Nevertheless, Rodriguez’s support for Ronaldo was constant throughout the tournament, which has been one of the toughest in his career.

A tough end to the Euro spell for Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has been the hero for Portugal throughout their qualifying campaign being their top scorer. But the 5-time Ballon dÓr winner saw his age catching up in his 6th Euro for the Navigators. The player despite his excellent movements has been observed to have a decline in sharpness and was also cited as a stumbling block for Portugal’s aspirations by experts. More importantly, despite having 23 attempts could not open his scoring in the competition, exiting it with just an assist in 486 minutes. The talisman bid adieu to Euros after his penalty miss in the round of 16.

Nonetheless, Ronaldo will continue in both international and club soccer for his fans. His next aim will be to win his first trophy with Al Nassr in the upcoming season. And with a scintillating 2023-23 spell, fans could expect some fireworks for 2024-25.
