When you're as muscular and imposing as Cristiano Ronaldo, it's hard to hide in the shadows when it starts getting awry on the field.
Ronaldo rarely does.
The three-time world player of the year hasn't been short of scoring opportunities at the European Championship. The problem is that the Portugal captain has had 22 - but missed every one.
He even missed a penalty against Austria on Saturday just weeks after he won the Champions league with Real Madrid from the spot.
Ronaldo - for years one of the most lethal marksmen - blasted his spot-kick at the post.
It was one of 11 Ronaldo misses in the 0-0 draw, a repeat of the number of chances squandered in Portugal's Group F opener when he complained Iceland was overly defensive in the 1-1 draw.
More specifically it's about Ronaldo regaining the stellar goal-scoring standards that have served both Portugal and his club sides so well for more than a decade.
Aside from his problems from the penalty spot, Ronaldo has also lost his touch from free kicks. It was hardly surprising he didn't score from his two free kick efforts against Austria given that he hadn't found the target from his previous 34 for Portugal at tournaments.
Ronaldo has another chance against Hungary on Wednesday to show he is still at the peak of his powers. If he doesn't convert his chances then, Ronaldo and Portugal could be taking an early trip home from France this week.
He's unlikely to shirk from the challenge.
