Much has been made in the press in recent weeks of Cristiano Ronaldo’s worsening primadonna nature.
After many hissy fits about Gareth Bale not playing him in and throwing strops when referees don’t see things his way, you would be forgiven for losing patience with the current Ballon d’Or holder.
But the Real Madrid superstar proved that he’s not lost all of his altruism with his response to accidentally hitting a young boy with a free kick in the warm-up to the 1-0 victory over Atletico on Wednesday.
The concern on the face of the Portugal captain looked very real and he made a point of jogging over to the lad to hand him his training top by way of an apology.
Well played Ronnie, you’ve bought yourself two more dives without us saying a word.
