Finland coach's Ronaldo joke falls flat at Nations League press conference

Finland coach Jakob Friis joked about Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Portugal's camp, drawing only silence from reporters at a press conference.

• Ronaldo left Portugal's Copenhagen camp on a private jet after a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over his exclusion for the Norway match.
• Friis, ahead of Finland's match against Albania, said none of his players had left on a private jet, so all were available.
• The joke drew no laughter or reaction from the journalists present at the press conference.
• Friis later asked reporters whether they had understood the joke; one replied "yes, certainly," and Friis said he had embarrassed himself.
