The Hungarian manager, Marco Rossi has branded the Portuguese talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo as "annoying" after his side were eliminated from Euro 2020.

Hungary's valiant performances in the so-called 'Group of Death' saw them hold the defending World Champions France and Germany to draws, but their opening-game defeat by the defending European Champions left them facing an uphill battle to reach the knockout stage.

It was a keenly contested battle as Rossi's side kept Ronaldo and his teammates at bay for well over 80 minutes only for Raphael Guerreiro to break the deadlock with a deflected strike.

The former Los Blancos star then converted a penalty won by Rafa Silva in the closing minutes before doubling his tally in added time after rounding Hungary goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi..

Cristiano Ronaldo marked both goals in trademark fashion by performing a 180-degree spin in mid air and landed with both arms outstretched.

The 36-year-old Portuguese International’s celebration is arguably the most iconic in football but it was not met kindly by Rossi, who warned the five-time Ballon d'Or winner that he is rubbing people up the wrong way.

"Ronaldo is a great champion but at times he can be annoying. After the penalty with us he celebrated as if he had scored in the final. People notice these things." Rossi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I don't give a damn about revenge and I'm not interested in returning to Italy,

"I'm happy if I left a footprint in Hungarian football."

Addressing the 2-2 draw with Germany, Rossi added: "I slept a maximum of 15 minutes last night and it's weird.

"I would never have thought that a draw with Germany would leave me with this feeling. I know we were good but I'm sorry."
