Ronaldo, 39, was unable to contain his frustration at full-time as he stormed off the pitch

After the referee Lawrence Visser blew the whistle to bring the game to an end, the forward was clearly agitated and gestured with two thumbs down.

He was probably equally as frustrated with his own performance after having multiple goalscoring chances on what could be his final appearance on British soil.

Fans reacted to the moment by commenting on social media.

One posted: “Cristiano Ronaldo embarrassed himself after full-time! He is a big wean [baby].”

A second commented: “He is absolutely raging haha.”

A third wrote: “Watching Ronaldo throw a little temper tantrum at the end of the Scotland game love to see it.”

A fourth commented: “Ronaldo needs to grow up.”

Another added: “He is not happy and frustrated with the result. We can clearly see his anger.”

It seems that the referee’s decision to signal the end of the game before Portugal could attempt a last-minute corner was the root of his pout.

A pitch invader attempted, but was not very successful, to take a selfie with Ronaldo during the game.

The rule-breaker ran nearly the whole length of the field before being tackled to the ground by security.

When asked about Ronaldo’s tantrum and failing to acknowledge the away fans with his team-mates, Portugal boss Roberto Martinez claimed: “I wasn’t aware [of Ronaldo]. I will find out and answer.”

On the match, which left Portugal leading the way with 10 points from four matches, he said: “We worked hard, had control of the game and reached the last third enough times but maybe something was missing.

“I want to give credit to Scotland, their goalkeeper played well. What was missing was the right final decision in the final third.

“Steve Clarke is building a team that is like a club – and that’s a very big compliment. He and his staff are doing a great job.”

On the pitch invader, Martinez added: “Unfortunately it happens too many times. It’s not the first time. It happened at the European Championship.

“When you have someone jumping on pitch with wrong intentions it’s a worry and I was worried.”

Scotland earned a hard-fought point
