Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted on social media after scoring and missing a penalty in Portugal's 5-2 Nations League victory over Denmark on Sunday night.
Roberto Martinez's side went into the showdown with work to do after losing the first leg 1-0 last week.
After just 10 minutes, Portugal were given a penalty after Ronaldo was fouled in the box by Manchester United's Patrick Dorgu.
However, the 40-year-old saw his feeble effort saved by Kasper Schmeichel - much to his frustration.

Fortunately for Ronaldo, his blushes were spared with Portugal able to battle their way to victory.
Joachim Anderson's own goal put them ahead in the 38th minute, with Rasmus Kristensen levelling in the second half.
Ronaldo found the net in the 72nd minute of the match, only for former United team-mate Christian Eriksen to equalise for Denmark just four minutes later.
Francisco Trincao then bagged a brace for Portugal, with Goncalo Ramos converting late on to send them through to the Nations League semi-finals.

"The first game did not go well, we accept that, but today we used the advantage of playing in front of our own fans to create a special atmosphere, which helped a lot. We played a game, that as the manager, I’m very happy with.
“The number of players who entered the pitch showed the work we have been doing over these two years, not just these last two days, and scoring five goals is always important.
