Elma Aveiro Explains Why Ronaldo Cried
Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional reaction after missing a penalty in the Round of 16 of the European Championship against Slovenia has caused a global stir. His sister Elma Aveiro has now offered a possible explanation for the outburst: They suggested in their stories on Instagram that the sight of his suffering mother on the stadium screen may have emotionally overwhelmed the superstar.
It was the moment when he saw our mum suffering on the giant screen in the stadium. Do you know what that means? You don't know. No one will ever know. It's not just about football, fame and money.

Difficult Childhood & Father Figure
The sisters could thus have referred to the footballer's difficult childhood and emphasized that it was not just about football, fame and money. Ronaldo's father suffered from alcoholism and died at the early age of 51. The family lived in poverty before he became one of the most successful football players in the world.
Ronaldo Scored The Second Penalty
Despite the missed penalty, Ronaldo was able to convert the second attempt for the Portuguese in the penalty shootout and thus contributed to the 3-0 victory. In the quarter-finals, Portugal will now face France.
