Cristiano Ronaldo surprised the host broadcaster at Euro 2024 after opting to allow Bruno Fernandes to take a free kick during Portugal's quarter-final with France.

Ronaldo had been slammed by fans during Portugal's last-16 match for his dominance in taking their free kicks, despite rarely troubling the goal.

The 39-year-old had particularly drawn ire on social media when he attempted to score from an almost-impossible angle out wide against Slovenia.

Ronaldo relented during the first half of Portugal's clash with France, opting to pass up the chance to take a free kick from the edge of box.

The forward was seen in discussion with Fernandes as the pair weighed up the set piece.
