Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly said he wished his fans would ‘f*** off’ after clashing with an overzealous selfie-hunter, according to an expert lip-reader.
In the build up to Portugal’s clash away at Armenia on Saturday, Ronaldo was seen pushing a fan who attempted to take a selfie with him in what appeared to be the lobby of their team hotel.
As shown in a video posted by Sebas Crackbol on X, the supporter managed to get past security and went up to Ronaldo.
However, Ronaldo wasn’t happy with the fan and shoved him away, while another supporter was halted by security within metres of the Portuguese superstar.
Both fans were then escorted away and Ronaldo walked off in the opposite direction.
And, according to investigative and forensic lip-reader Nicola Hickling, as per Fruity King, Ronaldo’s furious outburst has been laid bare.

Ronaldo, however, wasn’t impressed and reacted by pushing the supporter away
After he had pushed the fan away, Ronaldo allegedly fumed: ‘I said no more. Leave!’
When he turned away and walked off, the 40-year-old was said to mutter: ‘I wish they’d f*** off.’
Ronaldo’s frustrations didn’t seem to impact his performance in Armenia though, with the forward subsequently scoring twice as Portugal won 5-0.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo’s actions split opinion online, with several fans quick to criticise how he had acted.
One said: ‘This is shameful,’ before another wrote: ‘He’s such an unlikable person’.
However, the 40-year-old was defended by others, who suggested the fan was in the wrong.
One user wrote: ‘I’m on Ronaldo’s side, you don’t just invade someone’s personal space like that’. Another individual chimed in with: ‘Happy he shoved him. Stop touching people without permission’.
There was further support elsewhere as a further fan added: ‘100 per cent agree with Ronaldo! Those people jumping right in front of him without asking. People are crazy! That’s disgraceful.’

The 40-year-old went on to score four goals over the two games against Armenia and Hungary
A final fan said: ‘What happened to asking permission first’.
Ronaldo’s international break continued in good spirits on Tuesday as he scored another brace in Portugal’s 3-2 victory over Hungary, taking his tally for the week up to four.
In the process he became the joint-highest scorer in World Cup qualifying history with his 39 goals putting him level with Guatemala’s Carlos Ruiz.
Ronaldo, who made his debut for his country in 2003, has scored 141 times in 223 international appearances.
During his career with the national team, the Al-Nassr star won Euro 2016 and has also been a Nations League champion twice.
