In the 64th minute of the match between Al Nassr and Al Raed in the Saudi Arabian Championship on the evening of September 16, Ronaldo took responsibility for taking a free kick after Mane was fouled by an opposing player in front of the penalty area. From a distance of 17 meters, the Portuguese superstar took a strong shot. The ball went around the fence but missed the goal and hit a camera reporter in the head.

This reporter discovered the direction of the ball, but because he was busy controlling the camera, he did not have time to avoid it. He appeared stunned after receiving Ronaldo’s shot. After the match, many newspapers and social network accounts posted a photo of a man with a large swelling on his forehead and said this was the result of CR7’s shot.

However, according to Watanserb newspaper, the injury in this viral photo was not caused by C. Ronaldo. This is an old photo, posted on the Power Hunter Twitter account from February 14, 2023.

However, C. Ronaldo was still criticized by many people for not coming to visit the reporter after the match. “I hope Cristiano Ronaldo comes to see how the cameraman is doing. Such a strong shot, hitting the middle of the head, could cause a concussion. I like the reaction from the assistants and participating players. Al Nassr’s equipment when he quickly came to ask about the victim”, said Mohammed Al-Qaoud – Saudi Arabian sports reporter.

In this match, C. Ronaldo scored the goal that sealed the 3-1 victory for Al Nassr. This is Al Nassr’s 5th consecutive win in all competitions and 4th consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League. C. Ronaldo’s team is currently ranked 6th on the Saudi Pro League rankings with 12 points to 6 after the round, 4 points behind top team Al-Hilal.
