    Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal secure a spot in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 after a tense penalty shootout against Slovenia. Witnessing the football legend's tears after missed opportunities, Conor McGregor took to social media to post kind words to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

    Portugal succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals of Euro 2024, but the internet has been highlighting Ronaldo's tearful reaction after Jan Oblack made a save in extra time.

    However, Ronaldo turned things around by scoring in the subsequent shootout, helping Portugal win 3-0 in penalties.

    Feeling Ronaldo's passion for the game of soccer, UFC icon Conor McGregor sent out a passionate message to the Portugal striker, saying that he is the sport's GOAT.

    "True passion for country! @crisitano you are the greatest football player to grace this earth. God bless you brother! The past is glory! The present is history!," captions McGregor in his Instagram story.

    Both athletes have shown support for each other in the past. Ronaldo has visited McGregor's training camp before, as he prepared to battle Nate Diaz in UFC 202 in 2016.
