Cristiano Ronaldo has been having a bad Euro 2016.
While Ronaldo made a record 128th appearance for Portugal in its tie with Austria on Saturday, he has yet to score in the competition after two games, and he even missed a penalty against Austria.
He also endured criticism for accusing Iceland of having a "small mentality" following Portugal's draw with the team in its opening game.
But his frustration appeared to really come to come to a head Wednesday morning when a CMTV reporter approached the Portugal side walking from its hotel in Lyon, France.
Watch Ronaldo throw a reporter's microphone into the lake:
Speaking Tuesday with the BBC, Portugal midfielder Adrien Silva said Ronaldo would rise above pressure:
"There's a lot of people criticising," he said. "I don't think it's going to hurt him. He's more than used to it. He does everything he can to get us the best result."
Vitor Hugo Alvarenga, a journalist for website Mais Futebol, added that Ronaldo was becoming a different kind of player, something that would incur growing pains:
"As the years go by and age gets to him, besides the incredible amount of matches he plays, Cristiano Ronaldo is converting himself to a pure finisher," he said. "But he does not want to play as a traditional striker."
Portugal is tied with second with Iceland in Group F. If Portugal loses to Hungary on Wednesday evening and Iceland gets at least a point from Austria, Portugal will be out of Euro 2016.
