Romania have, once again, shown their class after their players and staff were seen applauding hotel staff following their Euro 2024 exit.
FIFA's 47th-ranked side crashed out the competition with a 3-0 defeat to Netherlands on Tuesday night - before being praised for how they left the dressing room.
It was their best showing at a major international tournament in 24 years, having not reached the knockout phase of any competition since the quarter-finals of Euro 2000.
Edward Iordanescu's side topped their group to make the last-16, with the players and fans clearly loving their time in Germany.
To show their appreciation, Iordanescu and his side were seen holding a round of applause for hotel staff at the Hotel Melchior Park in Wurzburg.
In a video that appeared on X, the entire squad - with staff included - could be seen stood round and clapping for the workers of the hotel.
Once their applause ended, manager Iordanescu went round and shook the hands of every single staff member, as another token of their appreciation.
The incident comes shortly after fans praised Romania as pictures of how they left the dressing room after their Euro 2024 exit went viral.
Pictures on social media have shown that Romania left their dressing room in an impeccable state, while they left behind a letter for the German organisers.
The letter read: 'EURO 2024 was for each of us one of the most important football experiences lived so far and we are glad that the stage on which it took place was the German one.
'Every match, every emotion, every experience brought us together and made us feel the magic of football.
'We leave Germany with the thought that we gave everything for Romania and we are grateful for everything we experienced during the weeks spent here.
'It was an honor to be part of the great family of European football. Signed: Romania’s National Football Team.'
UEFA also paid tribute to Romania by sharing the photos with the caption: 'The perfect guests. Following their elimination from Euro 2024 last night, Romania left their Munich dressing room spotless with a touching letter to their German hosts.'
A spirited Romania side were knocked out of the tournament after a goal from Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and a late brace from Donyell Malen in the last-16.
