Noted Cristiano Ronaldo super-fan IShowSpeed reacted in dismay as his idol missed an extra-time penalty against Slovenia.
Roberto Martinez's side were pushed all the way to a penalty shootout in Frankfurt after finding their opponent's defence impossible to breach.
However, in the 30 minutes of additional time, Portugal were handed the chance to progress to the quarter-final when Diogo Jota was felled in the box.
Up stepped Ronaldo, hoping to break his duck in the tournament, but Atletico Madrid stopper Jan Oblak was equal to the effort and produced a stunning save.
Ronaldo fans everywhere were shocked to see the chance go awry, none more so than the social media influencer, who was - remarkably - stunned into silence.
