Whoop, a North American sports company, showed Cristiano Ronaldo’s heart rate on social media at several key moments during the Portugal-Slovenia match, namely at the end of the 120 minutes, seconds before the penalty kick in the tie-break and the final whistle. The country’s passage to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 was over.
Looking at the graph, you can see that the peak, around 180 beats per minute, came at the end of extra time and also just after Bernardo Silva scored the penalty that ended the match and qualification. Interestingly, the moment the captain registered his smallest heartbeat was when he was preparing to… take the penalty in the tie-break, when Jan Oblak found himself back in front after the goalkeeper blocked his shot in extra time, a sign that he had not let nerves get the better of him.
“When you’re Cristiano Ronaldo, there’s no fear in football,” Whoop writes on social media.
