Amateur body language experts had a field day with the brief interaction between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes when they met up with the Portugal squad in Lisbon last week.
There didn't look to be a huge deal of warmth in the greeting after Ronaldo's explosive interview with Piers Morgan had been trailed on social media and if Fernandes has paid any attention to the full conversation then the temperature between the two is likely to be sub-zero now.
In one of the most revealing comments of what was essentially a PR exercise, Ronaldo was asked who he admires in the Manchester United dressing room and the absence of Fernandes' name felt instructive.
