Social media torn over Ronaldo’s behaviour. A journalist from Correio da Manha TV (CMTV) tried to conduct a live interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal forward and captain, on Wednesday. All he wanted to ask was if the footballer was ready for his Euro 2016 match against Hungary later in the day. But, without responding, Ronaldo snatched the journalist’s microphone and threw it into the lake. #Ronaldo immediately started trending on social media, with people debating whether what he did was right or wrong. We take a look at some of those views.
#Ronaldo – Tweeps share their views on the subject.
@kamal_paudel11: “#Ronaldo It’s nothing, just a microphone and not an big issue. But, media makes it big.”
@JMurraymcfc21: “Can’t get over #Ronaldo throwing that reporters microphone in the lake. Haha!”
@ganeshkiul : “Maybe #Ronaldo should throw a microphone into a lake before every match. #EURO2016”
@WelshTerrier1: “Pass that man a microphone! #Ronaldo showing his petulance yet again. #bigbaby”
@johanhultqvist : “#Ronaldo once again establishes that he is the world’s highest paid 4-year-old.”

@padhraigmckerna: “Fair play to @Cristiano. The microphone was shoved in his face when he was trying to chill out. #classact #Ronaldo #EURO2016”
@Distillerymad: “#Ronaldo throwing the microphone into the lake was well done, best thing to do. What a foolish approach by the reporter.”
#Ronaldo has not really helped himself in the #Euro2016... throwing a reporters microphone into a lake is very low. https://t.co/Wz1qR8wOU5— Juliet Bawuah (@julietbawuah) June 22, 2016
@nicolesiri89: “#Ronaldo throwing another tantrum is definitely making my day. #SoreLoser #Euro2016”
If it stays like this it won't be just a microphone #Ronaldo chucks. It will be the toys out of the pram..... #EURO2016— David Coates (@DC_ICP_75) June 22, 2016
Ronaldo Microphone – Facebook users discuss the incident.
Sandra Mungaray: “You know, you really start to question journalistic integrity when they don’t even bother to research why Ronaldo did this. The guy with the microphone is from a tabloid newspaper from Portugal that is always harassing him, his family, and his son. Ronaldo has a lawsuit going against them for libel and doesn’t answer questions from them during press events. He’s not being a brat- he’s standing up for himself.”
Nnamdi Victor Emenike: “As much as I am a die-hard fan of Christiano Ronaldo, I have strong resentment for his unruly behaviour towards the press in France when he flung the microphone into a nearby stream. A super star of his class should learn how to manage anger.”
Angela Iroh: “He should control his temper in public no matter who he is or who he thinks he is, because one day, he will be scouting for these reporters at the time of his retirement.”
