Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo infuriated minnows Iceland, claiming they had a “small mentality” after their 1-1 Euro 2016 draw on Tuesday.

Here are five of Ronaldo’s finest rants over his career:

A glorious night for Iceland on their first ever appearance at a major international tournament was soured by Ronaldo’s jibe that the island of 330,000 people will do nothing at the tournament despite holding the group F favourites.

“Iceland didn’t try nothing, they just defend, defend, defend, they had two chances and scored a goal, it was a lucky night for them,” he said.

“It’s why I think they will do nothing here. In my opinion, it’s a small mentality.”
