What the conversation is

One supporter claimed CR7 was mocking his manager's way of passing instructions to his players when he is in the technical area.

A fan wrote:

"Why is Ronaldo doing that. It looks like he's doing it in a mocking way. It's something Ole always does."

A second commented

"That's so disrespectful, that's the same as when Kepa refused to come off, but no one is gonna say it's unprofessional or have a go at him because it's Ronaldo."

A third added:

"The point is that Ronaldo is doing an Ole impression. It may not be that it happened whilst Ole was doing it. The point is Ronaldo is mimicking Ole and not in a good way."

A fourth explained:

"After the first goal when it was a 3v1 after 5 minutes, probably indicating everyone was all over the place in defence."
