On Premier Sports in Ireland, former Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney said that Ronaldo's act was a display of 'petulance.'
"It's not pretty, whatever way you cut it," Delaney said.
"That is a player that wanted to get on the pitch, but didn't. It's a show of petulance. It's not ideal, as it is going to be the first thing Erik ten Hag is asked about in his press conference, not the result."
Meanwhile, on Sky Sports, Danny Mills said Ronaldo was 'disrespectful' to his teammates and manager.
"If he has done that, it's an absolute disgrace," the former Leeds United defender said.
"I think that's disrespectful to the team, the manager, the fans. They're winning 2-0! What complaint could he have?
"If they were losing 2-0, it still wouldn't be right but I could understand it. He clearly thinks he's bigger than the club... that is absolutely disgraceful...
"They're winning. How would you feel, as a manager, if one of your players did that?"
