😳 Ronaldo's landmark celebration spoiled by spot-kick blunder
It was meant to be a night of celebration for Cristiano Ronaldo as he became the Guinness World Record holder for most victories of any player in men's internationals.
However, the party didn't go as planned for the 40-year-old attacker in Portugal's Nations League quarter-final clash against Denmark.
The Seleção were awarded a sixth-minute penalty but Ronaldo couldn't hold his nerve and barely tested Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with a tame effort from the spot.
