Portugal’s golden boy Ronaldo refused to shake the hands of his opponents after they drew 1-1 at the Euros.

Iceland celebrated at the end, and Ronaldo spat his dummy out like a small child.

He said, “I thought they’d won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end. It was unbelievable. We tried hard to win the game and Iceland didn’t try anything. This, in my opinion, shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition.”

However, former Iceland international player, Hermann Hreidarsson called the Portugal captain ‘petty’ and a ‘sore loser’. The captain continued to rag on Iceland’s performance, claiming it had been just a “lucky night”, and they were just putting “the bus in the net”.

Twitter erupted with criticism of Ronaldo’s comments.
