Georgina consoles heartbroken Ronaldo, Al-Nassr

The Spanish model usually observes this beautiful ritual with their children as they watch Ronaldo from the VIP section.

Unfortunately, Rodriguez's presence and that of their offspring could not provide the lucky charm he needed to push his team over the line, as they lost via post-match penalty shootouts.

Cristiano himself was not at his lethal best in the said finale, missing a couple of good goal-scoring opportunities to swing the tie in favour of the Knights of Najd.

However, he was able to score his penalty, but it was not enough, as three of his teammates missed from 12 yards, leading to a heartbreaking 5-4 defeat on sudden death.

For context, they had the advantage after Hilal missed the first and sixth kicks, but it was not meant to be, with defender Ali Al Hassan's attempt stopped by Moroccan goalkeeper Yaccine Bounou.

Bounou's crucial save turned the tie on its head as Nasser Al Dawsari scored before Meshari Al Nemer missed again for Al-Nassr.

The painful nature of the defeat left CR7 in uncontrollable tears.

According to Essentially Sports, Georgina, who watched the action unfold right before his eyes, took to Instagram to share a thoughtful message to his sweetheart and Al-Nassr.

"A penalty away from winning the King’s Cup. ⭐️ Congratulations, Al-Nassr, for the match ⭐️💙" she wrote on the photo-sharing App.

Rodriguez's carousel of Instagram posts showed her and all five kids watching the match from the exclusive VIP stands.
