After the match between Slovenia and Portugal, which the home team surprisingly won 2-0, a video circulated on the internet showing inappropriate behavior by Cristiano Ronaldo. Some foreign media outlets wrote: “Portuguese shows middle finger to the fourth official at Stožice!” But did he really? As eyewitnesses of the event explained, that was not actually the case.
Cristiano Ronaldo did lose his temper as he left the field and did make some snide remarks to Dejan Balažič, the fourth official from Ljubljana, who was assisting the match officials from Bosnia and Herzegovina on the sidelines. However, it’s also true that he didn’t actually show him the middle finger. He gestured with two extended fingers towards Balažič, while shouting that Portugal should have been awarded two penalties during the match.
Nevertheless, regardless of not actually making a vulgar gesture, Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t exactly portray himself in the best light in Ljubljana. Rather than focusing on football, he was mostly preoccupied with refereeing… which didn’t get him very far this time.
