Cristiano Ronaldo Was Ejected For Slapping An Opposing Player
Cristiano Ronaldo lost his cool and received a red card when he slapped an opposing player late in Real Madrid's match against Córdoba.
The play came when the world's most popular athlete was attempting to play a free kick in the penalty area and got tangled up with another player. It's not clear if Ronaldo was just trying to slap the player away or if he intended to slap the face, but the hand did make contact, and the player went down.
