I was in great pain. My God. I was more or less ballaballa!
Accident
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best football players of all time, so we can only imagine that being on the receiving end of one of his shots can really knock you out. And indeed it did. After being struck, Marisa Nobile immediately went down, paramedics and colleagues rushed to her aid, and Cristiano also immediately ran to her side to help.
I was gone in my head and went to the ground. Afterwards I saw Ronaldoabove me and said: 'Oh my God no, did I die?'
Ronaldo to the rescue
It's been a few days since this incident, and Nobile seems to have recuperated from the accident. Nobile joked:
But then I saw Ronaldo and the headache was gone.
Fortunately, the steward has since recovered and does not appear to have suffered any permanent damage from the shot. Ronaldo seemed quite sorry about the whole thing—after the game, in which he scores a goal in the 13th minute, he gave Nobile his shirt, which she proudly put on, beaming with joy. All's well that ends well!
