Cristiano Ronaldo was the man who many arrived at Hampden Park wanting to get a glimpse of before the 0-0 UEFA Nations League stalemate between Scotland and Portugal.
But the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus forward left the national stadium in a sulk on Tuesday night.
The 39-year-old was fuming that Portugal weren't allowed to take a corner, despite time elapsing the four minutes added on at the end of the second half.
When Belgian referee Lawrence Visser blew his final whistle, Ronaldo can be seen beginning an astonishing strop which he continued for over a minute with gestures towards the officials, waving his arms in the air, shaking his head, and putting his thumbs down repeatedly.

Bayern Munich star Joao Palhinha addressed the referees decision, while carefully choosing his words, and said: "Refereeing? If I were to give my honest opinion…

“We deserved to get something more out of this game, even though it’s always difficult to play in Scotland.
“Our dominance in the game was clear. We deserved more than a draw. But I would like to highlight the work we’ve been doing. We’re still in first place and we hope to secure qualification in the next two games, which will be difficult."
