The match was memorable not only for the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo's team, but also for the scandalous behaviour of the Portuguese at the end of the match. In the 86th minute of the match Ronaldo decided to elbow an opponent who was near him.

As a result, the Portuguese received a logical red card from the head referee, which did not please the star player. Ronaldo immediately swung at the referee, but still did not hit him and left the field. Obviously, the player will face a lengthy disqualification.
