Cristiano Ronaldo missed that penalty intentionally to show solidarity with Lionel Messi. Pipe down everyone.

A very poor penalty by Ronaldo but Iran’s goalkeeper was about 4 yards off his line there by the time he saved it. Not sure why that’s never enforced by referees.

Ronaldo has been learning penalty missing from Messi. Unreal influence by the GOAT.

So a former homeless man, turned car washer, turned international goalkeeper just saved a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. The beautiful game. #bbcworldcup #IRNPOR
