Cristiano Ronaldo embraces Padel as Euro 2024 woes continue

Padel has gained immense popularity in Europe and around the world. Those taking up the sport include active and retired tennis players. Cristiano Ronaldo has also tried it, and a particular detail about the Portuguese star was noted.

Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in action during the recent Euro 2024 in Germany. The tournament was far from triumphant for the legendary Portuguese player, who was in his team's starting lineup.

He did not manage to score any goals. He had an opportunity during extra time in the last 16 match against Slovenia but failed to convert a penalty. Consequently, despite his team advancing, he couldn't hold back his tears at the end of the game.

After the tournament, the Portuguese player had time to go on holiday. However, despite his free time, the sport still accompanied him, as confirmed by photos on social media.

It turns out that Ronaldo tried his hand at a new sport that has recently become very popular – padel. In this sport, former and active tennis players compete. CR7 has already participated in this sport.

The 39-year-old decided to post a photo of himself resting during a match. However, most attention was drawn to his cap, which bore the crest of Sporting Lisbon. At this Portuguese club, he took the first steps in his sporting career.
