Cristiano Ronaldo’s Expression to Fernandes’ Team Talk in Portugal’s Win Stirs Funny Fan Reactions

• Portugal recently hosted Iceland at the Jose Alvalade stadium
• The Portuguese side laboured to a two-nil victory
• A facial expression from Cristiano Ronaldo has stirred reactions among fans

Portugal concluded their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign in a dominant fashion, securing a victory against Iceland. Despite Roberto Martinez's team maintaining a flawless record, the match against Age Hariede's team proved to be a bit challenging for the Selecao.

They managed to score only one goal late in the first half, thanks to midfielder Bruno Fernandes, against their lowly-ranked opponents.

With the halftime whistle signalling a break in the action, the players retreated to the dressing room.

Despite their underwhelming showing, the Portuguese team swiftly regrouped for the second half, just outside the dressing room. Manchester United’s Fernandes was seen addressing his teammates in what seemed like a routine discussion. While the team talk from the 29-year-old appears to be a regular act in football, it was the reaction of teammate Cristiano Ronaldo that has sparked a humorous response on social media.
