The Portuguese attacker was pinged the ball by Luiz Gustavo but when it got to him it bounced off his thigh and straight to a defender.

A third wrote: “The lights were too big for big man.”
A fourth said: “Shameless man ”
While a fifth added: “There’s no way Ronaldo couldn’t control a ball and blamed the lights ”
