these are the most emotional moments on Football starting with the game that changed Cristiano Ronaldo's life forever in 2004 Portugal had just made it to the Euro Cup Final thanks to a header goal from Ronaldo himself so when the final began no one was more confident about winning than Ronaldo but from the start Greece proved to be a tough opponent and everything went wrong for the Portuguese team Cristiano spent the entire first half trying to find an opportunity but Greece's defense was tight making any play impossible the worst part happened in the second half when
the Greeks took advantage of the tired Portuguese players and scored after that with every passing minute Portugal got more discouraged and further from the title except for Cristiano of course he fought until the end with all his strength but it wasn't enough in the end the score was 1 to zero for Greece what moved the football World the most was christiano's reaction at the end of the game he tried to hold it in but ended up breaking down in tears along with more than 60,000 fans in the stadium let's be honest no one worked harder
than him in that game and he deserved to score at least one goal but his effort that day wasn't in vain since then the Portuguese star has won five Bond do Awards and in 2016 he achieved his dream by winning the Euro Cup with Portugal I'm sure that when he lifted that trophy Cristiano remembered that young boy crying in the final against Greece and felt very proud of him this was the day a tragedy stopped the football World it all happened during a Denmark match in the Euro Cup in 2021 everything was going very well
until near the end on the first half when Danish midfielder Erikson shocked the whole world he was running to get the ball and suddenly collapsed on the floor he wasn't faking a fowl or anything like that at that moment his heart had stopped beating and if he didn't get help quickly it would be the end of him so the other players screamed for help to come as fast as possible while the entire Stadium hoped for Ericson to be better despite the efforts Erikson was unresponsive and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher
it was super scary by then everyone thought he had passed away making this one of the saddest moments in football but after almost 5 minutes of intense work by the medical team a miracle happened Erikson's heart started beating again the whole football World celebrated and of course Erikson's family too and that's not even the most exciting part after the near tragedy Ericson's dream was to get back on the field despite many recommendations for him to retire he managed to make a comeback and return strong for the 2022 World Cup the moment was so emotional that
he was cheered by the entire Stadium now tell me how many likes does this Warrior deserve on this day Messi cried like a child Lionel Messi made his Mark in history with countless goals and titles for every team he played for but nothing compares to his years at Barcelona there he played alongside big names in football like puol inesta and even Ronaldinho GAO honestly Messi's relationship with Barcelona is more than just football when he was just a little kid his family found out about a disease that could end his career forever that's when Barcelona offered
not just a contract to Messi but also to pay for his treatment so you can't really explain how grateful Messi is to this club and vice versa but this beautiful story ended in a tragic way in 2021 after almost two decades the argentines said goodbye to the calan team and the reason simple the club didn't have money Messi even accepted a salary cut by more than half but even then Barcelona couldn't afford to register him for the competitions so they had to part ways Messi played over 800 games for the club won 35 titles and
scored 672 goals which is why he just couldn't hold back his tears and moved everyone with his final words for the club for but what happened to this goalkeeper will make you cry during a match for alad Alexandria goalkeeper Ahmed Aya was harshly criticized by his fans after conceding five goals in a row the saddest part is that he wasn't crying because of the insults but for an even worse reason a day before this match his beloved brother had passed away and he hadn't had time to recover so even though it was an important match
his performance was affected unfortunately the fans didn't care about this and just booed the goalkeeper who left the field in tears the shock was so great for him that right after the match he announced his retirement from football how unfair he sadly couldn't make a comeback but that's not what happened with this player what he did after scoring a goal moved an entire Stadium this is Alexander Sev and his mother had passed away just a few days before she was the most important person in his career always supporting him during tough times and encouraging him
to never give up up on his dream of playing professionally so what saev wanted the most was for her to be at this match after all no one would be happier about this goal than her but unfortunately that wasn't possible and to honor her memory subev decided to celebrate this goal in a very special way this moved the player so much that he couldn't hold back his emotions and needed help from his [Music] teammates but what happens when a tra tragedy can be avoided what happened to this player made the entire Stadium cry how he
is today will shock you this is abdulla NRI and even though he was only 20 years old at the time he was already one of the biggest names at Ajax seriously just look at this kid's skill with the ball it was clear to everyone that he had a great future ahead for many he was the next football star but all of this was ruined in a horrible way during a friendly match between Ajax and verder Breman Nuri suddenly collapsed on the field at first no one thought much of it but it quickly became clear that
something was very wrong and everyone rushed to get help and fortunately it was already too late Marie suffered a cardiac arrest which resulted in damage that not only ended his career but also changed his life forever even though the doctors tried very hard nine never fully recovered and ended up in a coma for nearly three years when he finally woke up the only thing he could do was move his eyes but even though this was a huge reason to be happy the truth is his life will never be the same again but nothing compares to
the day Ibrahimovic cried in front of his fans ibra collected countless trophies and made history at every Club he played for who doesn't remember that amazing long range goal for [Music] [Applause] [Music] Sweden or that that other fantastic goal in the MLS yeah this guy is a true legend and nothing seemed to shake him so why did Ibrahimovic cry that day the truth is he played a crucial role in AC Milan's history the Italian team once a giant had gone years without winning any championships it wasn't until Ibrahimovic returned to the club that this changed
he ended his time with the club by being the key player in winning the 20122 Seri a title which was a dream for the fans since they hadn't won the Italian league in 11 years this made his journey with Milan go Way Beyond football he truly came to love the players and the fans as if they were his own family but what moved him the most was the day they decided to return his love in an unbelievable way it all happened after Milan's 3 to1 victory over hel's Verona when ibra least expected it the entire
team came together to play tribute to him and honor his glorious time with the club the whole moment was emotional but the best part was when IA stepped on to the field and heard thousands of fans chanting his name all this was done because ibra was retiring and Milan did it perfectly because that's how you say goodbye to a legend this match was the end of one of the greatest legends in football Pepe made his debut for the Portuguese national team in 2007 and has since proven why he's one of the best defenders in the
world in total he had played over 141 matches for Portugal and scored eight goals but for him his relationship with Portugal goes way Beyond football he truly loves this country and that's why he fought so hard to win several titles like the Euro Cup in 2016 and the Nations league in 2019 but the most emotional part of Pepe's entire career happened at the Euro Cup in 2024 Pepe had already made it clear that this would be his last tournament and he wanted to win it at all costs but despite trying his best Portugal ended up
being eliminated by France in penalties and since this was his last match Pepe was completely devastated and couldn't hold back his tears yeah this match was tough for Pepe but incredibly what really got to him was what this journalist said I think this was the most emotional Euro Cup of of all time because it wasn't Pepe's last match but also Cristiano Ronaldo's modric's and many other Legends speaking of Christiano he was another one who shocked the world in this tournament just look at the state he was in after the penalty shootout we will definitely never
forget everything they did for football but there was no farewell as emotional as this one what happens when a legend even with Messi winning a World Cup for many meridana is the greatest Argentine player of all time and it's no wonder the guy won everything he could with the national team including a World Cup where he practically won it on his own in Argentina maridana was practically a God but unfortunately he wasn't Immortal on January 25th 2020 the football World receiv received news that left everyone in shock that day football lost one of its greatest
players obviously everyone felt compassionate but nothing compares to what happened in Argentina the entire country went into mourning and people took to the streets to pay their last respects to the idol everything was filled with Argentine national team jerseys photos and symbols of mourning the saddest part is thinking that shortly after the national team won the World Cup again and the legend wasn't there to see it maridana passed away and I hope that everywhere he is he saw how grateful his people were for what he did in football now this goal was one of the
most emotional moments in football for a very sad reason after this match turkey experienced one of the biggest earthquakes in history in total over 2,400 people lost their lives 7,000 were seriously injured and millions were left homeless among them was the player Christian atsu he had already had an excellent career with Chelsea and was now playing a season with haotai Spore but what no one knew was that his journey would end so tragically several news outlets reported that he had been found alive and that despite his injuries he would recover but that wasn't the truth
sadly the player was missing for days and when he was finally found it was too late that's why this goal is so [Applause] emotional it wasn't just Christian atsu's last goal but also one of the last moments he was seen alive what Neymar did for this girl will make you cry her name is Ariana du Santos and she loves playing football so much so that she went on to the Steve TV show just to meet her favorite football player Neymar Jr Ariana is such a big fan of her Idol that she can't talk about him
without crying and of course everyone ended up crying with her and she's in luck Steve is a personal friend of Neymar and together they prepared an unforgettable gift for her I know Neymar so I told him that about you and guess what look right there look at that TV screen right there what a present she was definitely very happy and left the show with her dreams fulfilled Neymar even sent her a Brazilian national team jersey so she would never forget this moment but what the girl didn't know was that shortly after Neymar would change her
life forever thanks to her emotional appearance on the show Ariana got the chance to meet Neymar in person along with the entire Brazilian national team and to top it all off remember that Jersey Ariana received well before the meeting ended all the players on the team made sure to sign it no wonder she's so happy she will never forget this day but what happens when the emotion goes beyond limits and becomes disrespectful click on the video appearing on the screen right now and see the most disrespectful moments in football
