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

Al-Nassr forward 2️⃣ Ronaldo turned away from the conversation with a smile drawn
across his face before putting his head down and preparing 2️⃣ for the
second-half.
Portugal were one goal ahead at that point, thanks to a first-half strike
from Fernandes, before Ricardo Horta 2️⃣ doubled their advantage in the
second-half.
Martinez's side made history with the result as they celebrated a
'perfect' qualifying campaign - 2️⃣ achieving ten wins out of their ten matches.
Fernandes'
former United team-mate, Ronaldo, is the second top goalscorer in the qualifiers 2️⃣ - with
his tally of ten goals only bettered by Belgium's Romelu Lukaku.
The 38-year-old
recently made headlines after savagely responding 2️⃣ to claims made by former Sporting
Lisbon academy starlet Fabio Paim.
Paim was seen as one of Portugal's biggest prospects
during 2️⃣ the 2000s, with reports that even Ronaldo himself regarded Paim as the most
promising young player of his generation.
However, Paim 2️⃣ failed to live up to his
potential, never making a senior appearance for Sporting, and having six loan stints
away 2️⃣ from the club - including at Chelsea where he also never made a competitive
appearance.
In an interview on a podcast 2️⃣ hosted by PT Clipes, Paim said he deserved at
least one of Ronaldo's five Ballon d'Or trophies, and that he 2️⃣ could have been on par
with the Portuguese icon and Lionel Messi 'if he had half of Cristiano's brain'.

Portugal 2️⃣ duo were seen listening in to the talk at half-time of their 2-0 win over
Iceland
Portugal maintained a perfect record 2️⃣ throughout their Euro 2024 qualifying
campaign
Ronaldo in response to the video gave a savage response, as he wrote on
Instagram: 2️⃣ 'Wtf??? Who is this guy.'
His response comes despite a number of reports
claiming that Ronaldo said after his move to 2️⃣ Man United in 2003: 'If you think I'm
good, wait until you see Fabio Paim.'
Speaking on the podcast, Paim said: 2️⃣ 'Cristiano
Ronaldo should offer me one of his Ballon d'Ors. I went to Sporting when I was seven
years old, 2️⃣ I grew up there.
'They were years of glory in which I won everything I
could. I didn't reach where I 2️⃣ could have reached, but I marked a generation. If people
don't forget it's because I marked them.
'I said when I 2️⃣ was happy that I thought
Cristiano Ronaldo could offer me a Ballon d'Or. But it was with humility. If I 2️⃣ had half
of Cristiano's head, it wouldn't be him and Messi'.
