Sometimes one's desperate urge to get the maximum attention, be the hero of the day and hog the limelight may fall flat on its face and backfire.
Just ask Cristiano Ronaldo about that, who had insisted on taking the final penalty even prior to the start of the tournament. Referring to the matter of taking the final penalty in a tie break which decides the winner of the tie, and a ticket to the final of the second-most important international tournament in football.

Of course, taking such poses usually doesnt help with garnering sympathy either.

Thankfully, the more deserving team, Spain, came out of it as winners and  still have a chance to make an unprecedented treble (Euro-WorldCup- Euro). Olle!
