Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson has admitted he may have got into Cristiano Ronaldo’s head after the Portugal superstar was sent off in a 2-0 World Cup qualifier defeat in Dublin.
The 40-year-old was dismissed for elbowing defender Dara O’Shea with his side already trailing 2-0 at the Aviva Stadium, a day after Hallgrimsson had urged Swedish match official Glenn Nyberg not to allow him to referee the game.
