"It was a lucky night for them. We should have three points but we are OK. I thought they’d won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end. It was unbelievable. "When they don’t try to play and just defend, defend, defend, this in my opinion shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition."Portugal had 66% possession and 25 shots, according to UEFA's official report of the Group F game. But then again, isn't that what you'd expect? The team with arguably the best attacking player in the world were the ones on the front foot, and their opponents did all they could to contain them. After Kári Árnason's Malmö shipped 10 goals to Ronaldo's Real Madrid in two Champions League games this season (and six to Ronaldo alone), the Iceland centre-back was hardly going to open himself up to another similar humiliation. Ronaldo has, unsurprisingly, received quite the backlash for his comments. https://twitter.com/tomwfootball/status/742842252817530880 https://twitter.com/JamesTylerESPN/status/742842821095329792 https://twitter.com/MiguelDelaney/status/742841169135185920 https://twitter.com/JongsmaJongsma/status/742840686412767232 https://twitter.com/jabennett_/status/742843681804320769
