What upset social media was that after the team doctor raced onto the pitch to patch him up, Ronaldo couldn’t resist grabbing the doc’s phone to survey the damage.
The doctor had cleaned up the blood spilling down the Portuguese superstar’s face when Ronaldo asked for the doctor’s phone so he could take a look at the extent of his injuries.
After assessing the damage, Ronaldo left the field, despite his side having already made three substitutions, although the much-needed victory was already secured by then.
This spontaneous show of self-love saw some fans and pundits give the Portuguese poser a hard time.
