Sources claim that the Cristiano Ronaldo injury was due to Dimitri Payet’s tackle. The tackle was quite forceful, which resulted in a Cristiano Ronaldo knee injury. The studs of Ronaldo’s shoes got caught in the turf, which resulted in hyper-extension of his knee joint. The Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury was so severe that he was screaming in pain after, which resulted in his leaving the match. However, he continued to play the game, going twice for treatment, but the second time, his knee gave away, and we could see him in tears due to the pain. He was clearly struggling to move around due to his injury; therefore, he decided to leave the ground and paramedics were called to carry him in the stretcher.
