The night ended in dismay for Ronaldo who was stretchered off on the 25 minute mark.
Sometimes life, like sports can be remarkably tragic. Cristiano Ronaldo, the man who thought it was finally his night to win the final for Portugal was met with a strong challenge from Dimitri Payet who took the ball but caught Ronaldo’s knee in the follow through.
There were strong boos as Ronaldo was treated and he came back on the field but it was too much for the Portuguese captain. He tried to walk it off, and Ronaldo might have an indomitable will but as they say – the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. Some even claimed that Payet ought to have got a red card for that follow through, but what all that matters is the fact that Ronaldo is going to miss the rest of the final.
Twitterati were heartbroken by Ronaldo’s ill-fortune and expressed their dismay:
OUCH: The angle in which Cristiano Ronaldo's leg bent. #POR pic.twitter.com/63z7iKFczr

this game should go into penalty shoot out - and ronaldo should come out limping.. right on the last shot and score the winning goal.

This isn't about Messi vs Ronaldo. It's about empathising with someone who quite clearly wanted to lead his team through a final. It's sad.

It's so ridiculous how much hate Ronaldo is getting when he's not even in the game

It's funny to see but #france should be more worried now that #ronaldo is out https://t.co/tTjaRsfjv7
