Portugal head coach Fernando Santos has warned Cristiano Ronaldo that he isn't guaranteed to be given the captain's armband in their nation's last-16 clash with Switzerland on Tuesday evening. It comes after the 37-year-old reacted angrily in his last game to being substituted halfway through the match.
It was in a final group stage game against South Korea, with Portugal already qualified and the Taegeuk Warriors needing a victory to earn qualification for themselves. That's exactly what happened for the Asian nation, who came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 thanks to Wolves striker Hwang Hee-chan in stoppage time.
While it was a huge moment, it was still Ronaldo who captured some of the headlines during his substitution midway through the second half. The former Manchester United striker put his index finger to his lips to signal a shushing motion as he was frustrated by Korean striker Cho Gue-sung urging him to hurry up in his exit, with time not on their side.
