Cristiano Ronaldo taunted Czechia’s goalkeeper and a midfielder as Portugal completed a 2-1 comeback win in their first game of Euro 2024.

The 39-year-old pumped his fist out towards goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek, who was crestfallen on the turf, and shouted something in the ear of midfielder Petr Sevcik.

His boastful celebration came after Francisco Conceicao thumped home the winner from close range in the 92md minute.

The stoppage-time winner atoned for a stodgy performance, with Portugal having needed an own-goal equaliser after Lukas Provod’s sumptuous striker.

Ronaldo clearly enjoyed the climatic moment from substitute Conceicao, giving him an almighty hug at full-time.

However, many viewers were unimpressed with his antics.

‘Classless,’ one summarised on X.

‘Doesn’t need to do that. Not the best look,’ wrote another.

‘Something you wouldn’t see Messi do against his opposition. That’s why Messi is the [GOAT emoji],’ said one, indicating that Lionel Messi is the ‘greatest of all time’.

Another said: ‘And this video demonstrates one of the reasons I just can’t warm to him! What was that celebration in the face of his opponents about?’

‘He is the worst sportsman,’ one commented.

Other viewers were more sympathetic towards Ronaldo’s burst of elation and attitude.

‘Was probably getting stick through the game,’ one thought.
