On Thursday, during the international friendly clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi IX, Cristiano Ronaldo was punched in the face.
The 37-year-old captained a Saudi All-Star XI in Riyadh, with his long-term rival Lionel Messi also starting for the Ligue 1 giants.
Messi opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, but as they pressed for an equaliser, the Saudi side looked to Ronaldo’s world-famous heading ability.
However, as a cross was swung into the box, Ronaldo didn’t reckon with his former Real Madrid team-mate Keylor Navas, whose attempt to punch clear also saw him connect with Ronaldo’s face, thus giving away a penalty.
Ronaldo fell to the ground dazed, although he avoided serious injury. He, however, was left with a black eye.
He was soon back up on his feet to drill his spot-kick past Navas.
