Ronaldo Hit On The Head By A Lighter Thrown By A Fan
*Ronaldo, Ramos
CRISTIANO Ronaldo
scored twice from the penalty spot and was also hit on the head by a lighter
thrown from the crowd as Real Madrid sealed their place in the Copa del Rey
final with a 2-0 win (5-0 on aggregate) over holders Atletico Madrid.Any chance of Atletico recovering from their
3-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu last week was extinguished after just seven
minutes when Ronaldo opened the scoring after being upended by Manquillo. The
Portuguese star doubled his tally nine minutes later from another penalty as
this time Gareth Bale was felled by Emiliano Insua. Ronaldo’s eventful evening
continued as, moments after being booked for a clash with Manquillo, he was
then hit by a lighter thrown by the Atletico fans as the players headed to the
dressing rooms at half-time. The Ballon d’Or winner was however fit to continue
at the start of the second-half before being substituted late on. Real will
face either Barcelona or Real Sociedad in the final on April 19 with Barca
holding a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg of their semi-final on
Wednesday. Atletico boss Diego Simeone appeared to have given up any hope of an
unlikely comeback from the off as he rested Juanfran, Diego Godin, Arda Turan
and captain Gabi, whilst four more first-team regulars missed out through
injury and suspension.
