John Terry, a former Chelsea legend, has publicly criticized the BBC, England's public broadcaster. This is because the BBC sent out a caption mocking Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed a penalty kick at the Euro 2024 tournament. Although retired from active duty, John Terry seems to have felt sympathy for Ronaldo as the same player.
British media Metro reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Former Chelsea captain John Terry criticized the BBC for making jokes about Ronaldo's miss. Terry raged on his SNS account with a photo of a caption released by the BBC at the moment of Ronaldo's miss, saying, "'BBC this is a disgrace!' On the broadcast screen captured by Terry, there was a caption 'Mystiano Penaldo' along with an image of Ronaldo as a kicker. The caption made a mockery of Ronaldo's missed penalty kick by sarcastically naming him.

Even the penalty was missed. Ronaldo stepped up as the kicker of a penalty shot earned by teammate Diogo Jota in the 13th minute of extra time. Ronaldo shot at the right corner. However, Jan Oblak, the current goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid in Spain's La Liga, blocked Ronaldo's shot with his amazing reflexes.

EPL legend Terry understood Ronaldo's feelings. This is because he knew how hurtful the missed penalty kick was based on his experience as a player. This is why he became angry with the BBC for its mocking subtitles on scenes like this and said 'It's a disgrace'.
