Ronaldo left bloodied by nasty goalkeeper collision (VIDEO)

The football ace needed medical attention after the incident, which occurred during Portugal’s impressive win over the Czech Republic

Cristiano Ronaldo had an evening to forget in Prague on Saturday after he was left bloodied and bruised by a collision and failed to get on the scoresheet in Portugal’s 4-0 UEFA Nations League win over the Czech Republic.

Benched by new coach Erik ten Hag for most Manchester United games as of late, Ronaldo was afforded a start by national team manager Fernando Santos and given his 190th cap for Euro 2016 winners Portugal.

Around a quarter of an hour into the proceedings, things took a turn for the worse when he challenged the hosts’ goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik for a high ball.

Vaclik attempted to punch it out of danger away from the penalty area, but he accidentally caught Ronaldo with his elbow and laid the five-time Ballon d’Or winner out on the turf of the Sinobo Stadium.

Ronaldo was left with his nose bloodied, sitting up dazed while his compatriot teammates checked in on him and Portugal’s medical team looked over the veteran.
