Cristiano Ronaldo throws reporter's microphone into lake

Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo is filmed taking hold of a news reporter's microphone and throwing it into a lake while out walking with teammates.

Cristiano Ronaldo has thrown a news reporter's microphone into a lake after he had attempted to speak with the Portugal international.

Ahead of Wednesday's Euro 2016 Group F fixture between the Selecao and Hungary, the Real Madrid forward was out walking with his teammates when he was asked by a reporter from Portuguese news channel CMTV if he was prepared for the game.

Ronaldo did not respond verbally, instead taking hold of the reporter's microphone and casually throwing it into the nearby lake.

Diogo Torres, the journalist in question, told BBC Sport: "I'm not sure why he did it. I think it was a momentary thing. I think he would not have done it if he had thought about it.

"We are a TV channel of a major newspaper in Portugal. We produce a lot of news about him. Some of it he doesn't like. Perhaps that's why he did it. But it wasn't a personal thing.

"I've not had an apology from Ronaldo or the team. We travelled to France on the same plane with the players and will fly back with them."

Portugal are without a win at Euro 2016 and could face elimination if they do not beat Hungary.
