Now, now Cristiano….
The football shocks weren’t just limited to the FA Cup this afternoon as Ballon D’or winner Cristiano Ronaldo performed a feat that we’ve rarely seen him do.
Before you ask, the Real Madrid striker didn’t admit that Lionel Messi is a better footballer than him but the sight of Ronaldo picking up a red-card is just as rare.
The European champions were taking on Cordoba this afternoon and Ronaldo saw red in the 82nd minute for this kick-out but he also lost his cool earlier in the match after throwing a fairly weak punch at the defender who was marking him.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men won the game 2-1 though thanks to a last-minute penalty from Gareth Bale but they’ll have to do without their talismanic striker for the next three games after this incident.
It seems that Ronaldo’s little hissy-fit didn’t stop there as he continued to push, pull and grapple before leaving the pitch.
