What a funny season is living Cristiano Ronaldo.
Far from being fulfilled at Manchester United, where the five-time Ballon d'Or is dragging out its sentence in the Premier League (6 game ends, none as a starter) and only scored its first goal in the Europa League on September 15, the Portuguese does not seem to be more comfortable in selection.
Established in tip by Fernando Santos against the Czech Republic, Saturday evening in Prague in the match of the 5th day of the League of Nations, "CR7" was shaken by the opposing goalkeeper.
From an exit as clumsy as it was spectacular, Tomas Vaclik hit him with a good headline right in the nose.
CR7 is not cotton

Results of the races after this involuntary punch: Cristiano Ronaldo fell very heavily on the lawn, with his nose apparently open.
The 37-year-old Portuguese was bleeding very profusely, forcing the healers to intervene to stop the incessant flow with a few cotton balls stuck in his nose.
He finally got up after two good minutes on the ground, a little stunned, his right eye a little swollen and his cheekbone affected.
But more is needed for the Lusitano, who wishes to play with his selection until Euro 2024, to abandon his teammates.
