Iceland drew against Portugal 1-1 in the country‘s first Euro 2016 match in Saint-Etienne yesterday. After the game, Portugal‘s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, slammed Iceland’s performance, claiming the team will not go on to “do anything in the competition”. The footballer’s harsh words have been widely criticised on social media.
I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end, Ronaldo said after the game. Adding: 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.
The Real Madrid star also refused to shake hands with the Iceland players after the match and brushed off captain Aron Einar Gunnarsson‘s attempt to exhange shirts, as is customary at the end of football matches.
