After the widespread controversy surrounding the reaction of famous player Cristiano Ronaldo, following his attack on a child who supports Everton, at the end of the Manchester United vs. Everton match in the Premier League yesterday, the child's mother shared a video showing the incident. The Portuguese star apologized for his behavior. In a comment on his Instagram account yesterday, Ronaldo noted that it is not easy to handle emotions in difficult moments, such as those currently faced with Manchester United. However, he emphasized that "we must always be respectful, patient, and a role model for the young ones who love the game," as he expressed. He added that he would like to apologize for his moment of anger, inviting the young fan to watch a match at Old Trafford to promote sportsmanship.
**Police Complaint.. and Family Steps In**
This apology came after the famous player became the talk of social media in the past hours due to his actions following the match between Manchester United and Everton in the Premier League. As players were exiting, Ronaldo broke the phone of an Everton supporter, seemingly provoked by him. He struck the young fan's phone, which he was recording with, causing it to hit the ground and shatter. However, this spontaneous reaction escalated after a comment from the child's mother about the incident, writing on her Facebook account: "A lovely trip to the match turned into me going with Jake to the police station. Ronaldo smashed Jake's phone while he was holding it as he filmed him at the end of the match. I am shocked. How can a professional player attack a child in this way? How would he feel if someone did the same to his son?"
**Hitting His Hand and Shattering the Phone**
The mother also attached a picture showing the mark from the hit on her son's hand and the shattered phone, according to Western media reports. It is worth mentioning that the player may face severe penalties from the Premier League due to this behavior, especially since such treatment toward children is completely prohibited in English stadiums. Social media buzzed about the incident, with people divided between supporters and opponents. Some claimed it was an absolutely unacceptable reaction from a player of Ronaldo's stature, while others argued that celebrities are ultimately normal people with emotions that may get out of control in certain situations!
