The Real Madrid forward did not perform as expected. He was far from the Chilean goal and only took one shot on target against Bravo. In the penalty shoot-out, Cristiano Ronaldo did not get to take his shot.

The disappointment in the Confederations Cup adds to the others that 'CR7' had with Portugal. The most remembered was the defeat against Greece in the final of Euro 2004, where the Portuguese national team came away empty-handed on their home soil.

At the club level, Cristiano Ronaldo had a tough time in the final of the 2007/2008 Champions League. On that occasion, the forward missed his penalty shot. However, luckily for him, Terry also missed and in the end Manchester United lifted the trophy.
