Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly furious after the final whistle as Portugal were held to a draw by Scotland. Ronaldo and his teammates arrived at Hampden Park aiming to maintain their perfect record in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday night.
As anticipated, the 2016 European champions controlled the game but couldn’t break through the resolute Scottish defence, resulting in a 0-0 stalemate.
It’s worth noting that the draw marked the end of Scotland’s four-match losing streak.
As the final whistle blew, cameras captured Ronaldo’s visible frustration with the referee’s decision to end the match just after Portugal had earned a corner.
In a video circulating on social media, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar was seen throwing his arms in the air and clapping sarcastically as he made his way off the pitch.
