After Bruno Fernandes paid tribute to Fernando Santos for the eight years he spent in charge of Portugal's national team, Cristiano Ronaldo's silence has shown the gulf in class between the pair.
As the full-time whistle went in Morocco's quarter-final victory over Portugal, all eyes were on one man.
Ronaldo left the pitch in floods of tears as he headed down the tunnel knowing that this was how his fifth and final World Cup tournament would end - not with a bang, but with a whimper. The 37-year-old could not even bring himself to congratulate nor acknowledge the monumental achievement of his opposition as they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
