Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva had a hilarious reaction to Bruno Fernandes'
half-time tunnel talk during Portugal's 2-0 win over💲 Iceland.
Roberto Martinez's side
stormed to victory on Sunday night as they made it ten wins out of ten matches in💲 their
Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
While the national side may have been dazzling out on
the pitch, it was actually their💲 half-time antics which made headlines after the
game.
During the mid-way point of the match, United captain Fernandes appeared to be
💲 giving a team-talk in the tunnel, as they waited to head out for the
second-half.
Ronaldo and Silva can be seen,💲 in a clip that later appeared on X,
listening to the conversation before turning to eachother and smirking.
Nah, look how
💲 Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva reacted to Bruno’s analysis talk before the second half💀😭

Al-Nassr forward💲 Ronaldo turned away from the conversation with a smile drawn
across his face before putting his head down and preparing💲 for the
second-half.
Portugal were one goal ahead at that point, thanks to a first-half strike
from Fernandes, before Ricardo Horta💲 doubled their advantage in the
second-half.
Martinez's side made history with the result as they celebrated a
'perfect' qualifying campaign -💲 achieving ten wins out of their ten matches.
Fernandes'
former United team-mate, Ronaldo, is the second top goalscorer in the qualifiers💲 - with
his tally of ten goals only bettered by Belgium's Romelu Lukaku.
The 38-year-old
recently made headlines after savagely responding💲 to claims made by former Sporting
Lisbon academy starlet Fabio Paim.
Paim was seen as one of Portugal's biggest prospects
during💲 the 2000s, with reports that even Ronaldo himself regarded Paim as the most
promising young player of his generation.
However, Paim💲 failed to live up to his
potential, never making a senior appearance for Sporting, and having six loan stints
away💲 from the club - including at Chelsea where he also never made a competitive
appearance.
In an interview on a podcast💲 hosted by PT Clipes, Paim said he deserved at
least one of Ronaldo's five Ballon d'Or trophies, and that he💲 could have been on par
with the Portuguese icon and Lionel Messi 'if he had half of Cristiano's brain'.

Ronaldo in response to the video gave a savage response, as he wrote on
Instagram:💲 'Wtf??? Who is this guy.'
His response comes despite a number of reports
claiming that Ronaldo said after his move to💲 Man United in 2003: 'If you think I'm
good, wait until you see Fabio Paim.'
Speaking on the podcast, Paim said:💲 'Cristiano
Ronaldo should offer me one of his Ballon d'Ors. I went to Sporting when I was seven
years old,💲 I grew up there.
'They were years of glory in which I won everything I
could. I didn't reach where I💲 could have reached, but I marked a generation. If people
don't forget it's because I marked them.
'I said when I💲 was happy that I thought
Cristiano Ronaldo could offer me a Ballon d'Or. But it was with humility. If I💲 had half
of Cristiano's head, it wouldn't be him and Messi'.
