Cristiano Ronaldo got a knock to the face after colliding with Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik during a Nations League clash on Saturday night.
Portugal won the match 4-0, but not without a bruise or two…
The Manchester United star competed for a high ball and fared worse than the keeper in question. To Vaclik’s credit, as a goalie, he punched the ball away in the process and did his job well.

I’m just not sure Ronaldo will appreciate getting clattered in the process.
Anyhow, you can get a bloodied face and flattened nose playing football. I’m sure he’s had more than a few down the years.

A mere scratch.
