After missing a penalty in extra time in the previous game, Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears. The message that his clubmate Sadio Mane texted him has finally been made public.



In the message which was sent to Cristiano Ronaldo by Sadio Mane via social media last night, it translates to "You are still a champion," and it was a great character shown by the Senegalese International.



Sadio Mane sent a message via his verified Instagram handle after Ronaldo missed the penalty, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo's tearful reaction to the miss.


Mane expressed support for his club teammate, calling the five-time Ballon d'Or winner the champion that he is. He likely aimed to motivate the Portuguese forward ahead of upcoming challenges.

Portugal, however, went on to win the game through a penalty shootout and will now face France in the quarterfinals.
