"Ungracious" Ronaldo should know all about what it takes for an underdog to succeed

COMMENT

Cristiano Ronaldo might not be in the words of Iceland's Kari Arnason "an ungracious human being" but he behaved like one following Portugal's 1-1 draw with Iceland at Euro 2016 on Tuesday night.

The Portugal captain cannot help himself with his reactions sometimes, demonstrating that no matter how rich or famous he grows, he can be just like the rest of us - jealous and spiteful.

It's part of what makes him all that he is and people admire him for it. He kicks the ball in frustration back into the goal after Alvaro Arbeloa reaches it in front of him to score in the first place.
