Cristiano Ronaldo really doesn’t help himself, does he?

After Iceland, population 330,000, caused the upset of Euro 2016 so far by holding out for a heroic 1-1 draw against one of the pre-tournament favourites. Ronaldo chose to swerve the magnanimous route and enhanced his reputation as primadonna of the highest order.
