Cristiano Ronaldo has a right to be annoyed. Ahead of Portugal's crucial last group game against Hungary, they lie in third place in Group F on two points after hugely disappointing draws against Iceland and Austria. Portugal have been the victims of two heroic defensive displays, some poor luck and a lot of fairly disjointed play in their two games so far, and Ronaldo's mood won't have been helped by the fact that he missed a penalty against the Austrians.
After drawing with Iceland, Ronaldo received criticism when he criticised the "small mentality" of his opponents. In many ways this was understandable and was probably an expression of the frustration he felt as much at his own team's bluntness and inability to break Iceland down as it was at any defensive tactics implemented by the minnows. And although undoubtedly gut-wrenchingly disappointed with a draw against a brave but limited Austrian side, he took the time to take a selfie with a fumbling fan in the immediate aftermath of that encounter.
Still, everyone has their limits. As well as having to deal with the pressure of carrying the hopes of an entire nation, the constant surveillance from media while at the tournament and the general incompetence of his team-mates, Ronaldo has his own high standards to meet and is no doubt preoccupied with his inability, so far, to reach them.
So when a reporter from Correio da Manhã, the tabloid paper-who Ronaldo once sued for exposing private details about the mother of his son-shoved his microphone under the Real Madrid star's nose, he wasn't having any of it.
Perhaps it is over-analysing this too much to say that it illustrates a Ronaldo, and a Portugal, under pressure but it will be interesting to see how he and his team respond against a Hungary side punching well above its weight at this tournament.
The spotlight on Ronaldo at every major tournament is enormous, and he doesn't seem to carry it as lightly as, for example, Gareth Bale-but perhaps that is because Ronaldo's Portugal expects, whereas Bale's Wales hopes.
