Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani are "heroes" despite missing their penalties for Portugal against Chile at the Confederations Cup
Fernando Santos moved quickly to remind people of the Euro 2016 penalty heroics of Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani after Portugal were beaten in a Confederations Cup semi-final shootout by Chile on Wednesday.
All three players had their spot-kicks saved by Claudio Bravo in Kazan, as Arturo Vidal, Charles Aranguiz and Alexis Sanchez fired Chile to victory after a goalless draw.
But Santos warned against vilifying the trio, who were among the scorers as Portugal beat Poland in a quarter-final shootout on their way to winning Euro 2016.
