After defeating Portugal 4-0, German boss Joachim Low was reportedly seen picking his nose before shaking hands with the rival team's striker Christiano Ronaldo.
The act is seen as 'adding insult to injury', as the incident happened after Germany defeated Portugal and that too with a tragic 4-0 scoreline.
The coach was caught fiddling away inside his nostril as Ronaldo approached and didn't even bother to wipe his hand before shaking, News.com.au reported.
