The Juventus superstar was less than impressed at seeing his grip on a European Championship crown slip against Belgium
Cristiano Ronaldo acted like a "true captain" throughout Euro 2020, says Portugal coach Fernando Santos, with the Juventus superstar forgiven for his emotional reaction to a last-16 defeat that saw him throw a captain's armband around.
The current holders of a continental crown have seen their grip on that trophy slip, with a 1-0 reversal suffered at the hands of Belgium in Seville on Sunday.
Ronaldo was understandably disappointed at the final whistle, leading to him parting with his armband and kicking it across the turf, but Santos has no issue with the contribution of his talismanic skipper at another major tournament.
