BBC brutally troll Cristiano Ronaldo live on TV with pun about penalty miss during Portugal’s win over Slovenia
THE BBC has responded to criticism about a "Misstiano Penaldo" caption that was put on screen during Portugal's Euro 2024 last-16 match against Slovenia last week.His team went on to win the match on penalties, but BBC Sport pundits were quick to recap the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's failed attempt at full-time.The statement read: "The caption was simply intended as a play on words, which we have done many times before on Match Of The Day analysis graphics.
"3. After the penalty shoot-out, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer both referenced Ronaldo’s courage and self-belief to step forward and take a penalty. "At no point were the pundits overly critical of Ronaldo and in the context of the programme overall, the tone was consistently respectful towards him."However, we appreciate some viewers were unhappy with the graphic and the feedback has been passed on to the production team to help inform their work going forward."
