The penalty miss that haunted John Terry: How ex-England star broke down in tears after missing crucial spot kick in CL final - as he blasts BBC for mocking Cristiano Ronaldo

Former England captain John Terry was one of the first to leap to Cristano Ronaldo's defence after the BBC mocked the Portugal captain for missing a penalty during last night's clash against Slovenia. Ronaldo had endured a frustrating evening in front of goal but was handed a lifeline when Portugal were awarded a penalty with the scores still level in extra-time. The 39-year-old took a deep breath and firmly fired his spot kick towards the bottom right corner, but it was heroically saved by Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak . An emotional Ronaldo then broke down in tears and had to be consoled by team-mates. The striker - whose mother was also in tears after the miss - redeemed himself by scoring when the game went to a penalty shootout, where Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa made three saves to send his team to the quarter-finals of the Euros.
