Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero criticises Cristiano Ronaldo for throwing his Portugal captain’s armband to the ground. ‘This is an over-reaction.’
The incident occurred in stoppages of Portugal’s 2-2 draw with Serbia, when CR7’s potential winner seemed to go over the line, but was not awarded.
There is no VAR or goal-line technology in the World Cup qualifiers.
“This is an over-reaction. He shouldn’t act like this, in that way,” Del Piero told ESPN.

“This is an over-reaction. He shouldn’t act like this, in that way,” Del Piero told ESPN.
“It’s OK to be angry, it’s OK to discuss it with the referee, but to throw the armband and keep going like this is too much for someone who is the team captain and represents an iconic figure like him.
“I also understand the moment, the importance of the match and also the personal ambition that he puts into everything he does.”
