They called him Misstiano Penaldo in their highlights before Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker posted a doctored image replicating the iconic image of Paul Gascoigne from Italia 90, only using Ronaldo crying with the former Tottenham forward looking towards the bench.
After the match, Portugal coach Roberto Martinez praised Ronaldo for his conduct throughout. The former Everton man said: 'He (Ronaldo) doesn't need to care that much and that's why I thank him for being the way he is, for caring for the group ... I was certain he had to be the first penalty taker and show us the way to the victory. I think we all felt very proud of our captain. The dressing room was delighted with what he's doing.'
