Debutants Iceland won the hearts of many after they came back from a goal down to hold Portugal to a draw. Lars Lagerbäck's lads played with passion and determination, which ended in a result that has given them an extra boost of confidence heading into their second match of UEFA Euro 2016.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, full-back Kari Arnason had many things to say about Ronaldo after the three-time Ballon D'Or winner blasted Iceland as a team with a 'small mentality'.
"It makes it even sweeter when he's a sore loser like that.
"I mean, he can say whatever he wants. He didn't really get a chance today, he got one and he couldn't put it away. What can I say? Sore loser.
"He had a header in the final minutes of the game and a chance in the first half but otherwise I thought we had him under control.

"We didn't set up to man mark him or anything, we just had to know where he was at any given moment and that he will shoot from outside the box and that everything has to be blocked.
"He's a fantastic footballer but he's not a gracious human being and the thing is we almost nicked the win so him saying we weren't going for the win contradicts that.
"We got a draw and could have nicked it. Obviously, we're not going to create as much chances as a fantastic team like Portugal, but his comments are the reason why Messi is always going to be one step ahead of him.
"It shows we got under his skin. It was lovely to hear that."
Iceland's next challenge in this top-flight competition will be against Group F opponents Hungary at the Stade Vélodrome.
