Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in action during Euro 2024 in Germany. Despite starting in his team's lineup, the legendary player did not have a successful tournament.

Ronaldo failed to score any goals. He even had a chance to do so in overtime during the round of 16 against Slovenia, but he missed a penalty kick. As a result, despite his team's advancement, he couldn't hold back his tears at the end of the match.

After the tournament, Ronaldo had some time to go on vacation. Despite his break, sports were still a part of his life, as evidenced by photos on social media.

It turns out Ronaldo took up a new sport that has recently gained fame: padel. This game also attracts former and current tennis players, and now CR7 is competing.

The 39-year-old posted a photo of himself resting during a match. However, what caught most people's attention was his cap, which featured the emblem of Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese club where he began his sports career.
