TIL Desk Sports/ That Cristiano Ronaldo is as vain as they come is no secret. But if you had any doubts about his self-obsession, he laid those to rest during Real Madrid’s 7-1 La Liga win over Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.
Ronaldo scored twice against Deportivo to help ease Real’s recent crisis but paid a heavy price for his second goal in the 84th minute as opposing defender Fabian Schar kicked the Portuguese forward in the face as he leapt to net his side’s sixth goal of the game.
Ronaldo was left bleeding and while going off the field for a check, he asks the club medic to give him his phone so he could look at his bruised face. Seeing the cut on the phone cam, his pretty face damaged, the Portuguese forward’s expression said it all.
The act, which some would term conceited, split Twitter down the middle. While some made jokes, his fans showered him with sympathy. @VinaySundar tweeted: Haha! That was definitely something new! Ronaldo gets a cut on his face, asks for the team doc’s mobile phone, checks the damage to his face in the camera, isn’t happy with what he sees, and then subs himself! #RMADEP @labeledbieber tweeted: “Lol @ ronaldo for taking that phone and checking how big the scar is”
