Former Portugal defender Fernando Meira says Cristiano Ronaldo's was wrong to throw his captain's armband to the ground: 'It's unacceptable.'
The Juventus striker was denied a last-gasp winner in Serbia-Portugal last night and was so furious he threw his captain's armband to the ground and left the pitch while the game was ongoing.
"It's clearly a goal, but Ronaldo can't throw the armband on the ground like that," Meria told Record.
"Cristiano's reaction is natural, but it's not acceptable from the national team captain.
"You can't throw the armband on the ground and head into the dressing room while the game is still going on."
"It's not acceptable behaviour for a player of his stature," he continued.
"I understand his frustration, and I agree with him because his goal should have counted, but the referees need to make a decision without VAR and he has to set an example."
