Portuguese striker, Cristiano Ronaldo left the pitch in
tears as he received a red card following an off-the-ball clash with an
opponent during Juventus and Valencia clash on Wednesday night.
The 33-year-old flicked his boot at Jeison Murillo as they
clashed together in the 29th minute and the defender fell to the floor. The
Portugal forward then appeared to pull Murillo’s hair in an attempt to lift him
off the ground and the Valencia players immediately protested to the fifth
official behind the goal.
After Referee Felix Brych consulted with his colleague, he
gave Ronaldo a red card, leaving the footballer in tears as he made his way
down the tunnel.
The red card was Ronaldo's 11th red card of his career but
first in the Champions League.
