Hair tips and Piers Morgan – Ronaldo is cheated for celebrating goals

He cheered as if he himself had thrown the ball into the net from 35 yards. But was Cristiano Ronaldo still on Bruno Fernandes’ cross, which eventually went into the goal? If the Portuguese superstar actually touched the ball, it was probably only with the tips of his hair.

FIFA first credited the goal to “CR7”, but then made Bruno Fernandes the official scorer. But he said: “I was cheering as if it was Cristiano’s goal. It seemed to me that he had still touched the ball. My aim was to give him a cross.”

The goal would have been of great importance to Ronaldo, who would have tied with Portuguese legend Eusébio with his ninth World Cup goal in the category. The TV images show him telling the referees after the final whistle that he had his head on the ball and that the Portuguese 1-0 should therefore be attributed to him.

And precisely for this action, the CR7 is now harvesting some ridicule. As a Fox Sports moderator reports, Ronaldo reportedly reported to Piers Morgan from the locker room with the message, “I touched the ball.” Before the World Cup, Piers Morgan did the well-received interview with the Portuguese that led to his contract termination at Manchester United.

This made the rounds on social media and other memes about the scene.
