Terrible to see Cris come off like that. Hope it's nothing too bad 🙏🏼

Real Madrid's Spanish account (the English account ignored the incident) limited themselves to a cold, short tweet on the matter: "Cristiano substituted on 25' after taking a knock".

Meanwhile Iceland showed, again, why everyone loves them...
It doesn't matter what Ronaldo said about Iceland, this is absolutely heart-breaking. We feel so sorry for him, devastating for this legend.
