   UEFA Champions League referee who took charge of his final Champions League game Wednesday Claus Bo Larsen referred to Cristiano Ronaldo as "the most annoying player".

 "He's always out to get a cheap free-kick, especially at home. We tended to talk before games about how he'd go down easily.

  We know not to be biased, but we have to be prepared. He has a clean slate at the start of every game. When he would lie down after failing to win a free-kick, he smiled at me because he knew I didn't fall for his theatrics."
