Ronaldo being hugged by pitch invader is proof of CR7’s inate goodness, say his fans

Has anyone told Gareth Bale?

After a frustrating night in Paris maybe all Cristiano Ronaldo wanted was some affection.

With the (original) Brazilian Ronaldo watching on at Parc des Princes, the most expensive game in football finished in stalemate, with Real Madrid’s Portuguese superstar enduring a tough night against Paris St Germain.

There were plenty of skills and tricks on show in the 0-0 draw, but Ronaldo missed a couple of chances and was so pissed off at the end he legged it down the tunnel – Craig Joubert style – without shaking hands with anyone.

The alternative theory is the former Manchester United man had already had his daily quota of human contact after this incident involving a pitch invader.

A track-suited spectator somehow found his way on to the pitch and made a beeline for CR7, who appeared caught off guard as he gave the perfect stranger (and potential lunatic) a semi-affectionate huge.

The alternative view espoused by many Ronaldo devotees is that the superstar will hug anyone who asks.
